Red Beach Umbrella Abstract
Project type
Aqua Beach with Red Umbrella and Sea Oats Abstraction
Location
Kure Beach, North Carolina
On a calm weather day, I saw a little girl and her mother with their ice chest, under a red striped umbrella, alone on the beach. In this painting, I took the people out of the image to push the lonely beach feeling. Then I played with the abstraction as much as I could. Artistically, what I am doing here is flattening the space. Instead of a horizon line miles away, the horizon is brought forward - deep space made flat. This painting expresses my feeling of loneliness at the time, as a caretaker of my children's health.
