Paint Party Friday - At the Beach


Welcome to Kristin and Eva's Paint Party Friday! My piece is entitled 'At the Beach', an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") acrylic on canvas, outlined with a black PITT artist pen.

My daughter was doing some painting and had some leftover paint she wanted to use up.  I came over with my ACEO canvases and blended some white with brown and came up with a flesh coloured background.  L said it looked like sand on a beach, and this piece was born!

I love it when generations work together on projects. The sand color is perfect. Cute starfish too.

Hi Christine, I really love the inspiration for your piece this week. I think for me the inspiration is the hardest part. The starfish design is delightful and the diagonal direction gives a feeling of action--maybe the water onto the beach!

I like the clear lines on this. It looks like you took a magnifying glass to a really small part of the beach. Lovely work!

love your sea stars and the colors you used. Very striking. Somewhere I have photos of starfish I took at some tide pools one time when we were down at the coast.

This is lovely with the two sweet star fish and it's very beachy.

What a lucky coincidence that your daughter had these beautiful leftover paint. The ACEO canvas is fantastic and nothing would fit better than these two unique sea stars on the beach. This is really a "picture-perfect painting idyll"

Really makes me think of the beach.
Well done. Happy Almost Spring.
Well, not for me. We get rain and snow
all spring but ... the birds are out.
I'll take it !!!!
