Bodies

In my continuing quest to capture postures, I have painted a series of women at the beach.  These are some of the 5x7's.  This has been a good education on what NOT to wear to the beach, as well, as good practice in painting bodies.

Made it to the Beach

This woman was so glad to get to the beach that she didn't even bother to get herself organized.  She went directly to the chair and plopped.  She didn't even let go of her bag for the first 15 minutes.  I'm guessing she had been trying to get to the beach all day.
I had a view from the deck and got an interesting perspective for painting.  There is no end to the different types of bodies and positions.  I'm loving the challenge of trying to capture each one.

Hot Gossip

I know there is a great conversation going on here.  These ladies didn't notice me hovering around with my camera.
I went back to my studio to paint in the air conditioning as it was one of those hot and humid days in charleston. A perfect day for the the beach and "Hot Gossip".
