people on Bournemouth beach enjoying the waves

20" x 16" oil on canvas

This is based on a photograph I took from Boscombe Pier, Dorset, UK. With these beach paintings I often take a number of pictures with the intention of combining then in photoshop to create a single, pleasing composition, from which I use to make a final painting. In this painting the sea takes prominence and it was fun to show the waves and the subtle changes in hue as the sand starts to change the colour of the water.
