ENDLESS SUMMER

"ENDLESS SUMMER"
Original
Oil on canvas
20" x 16"
SOLD

Original.  Tough life these California kids.

Everyday we walk the beach by our home.   Everyday is different and most the time, the beach paints itself.  There is an endless "subject" supply, such as these kids.  Further away from the shore was a 4-pole tent giving coverage for the "school" supplies (ie., surfboards).  Underneath this tent were folded chairs for waiting parents holding cameras with telephoto lens.  Not me.  I walked through the scene, on waters edge, and photographed a series.  The interaction between the kids was pretty good.  But I have no clue why they were not running in.  Teh guy in the red shirt on the right was enjoying his "instruction" with the little blond girl (far right).

This is an original work of art by California artist, Nancy Tokos, member American Impressionist Society and Oil Painters of America.  Oil on stretched canvas.  Safely packaged and shipped via FedEx but please allow 1-5 days for shipping. Save shipping and take delivery from my bricks and motar studio location in San Diego.  Oil paintings + drawings are very handsome in "barnwood" frame, my favorite available at Frame USA http://www.frameusa.com/.* colors, values, may vary slightly between the actual portrait and the image on your computer due to my digital camera settings, time of day the photograph is taken and the monitor you are looking at right now. *

Original.  Living close to the Pacific Ocean has benefits.  Mainly, when I am not enjoying the ocean's sunrise or sunset, I am painting it.

Original. We start each morning with a walk on the beach near our home.  Sometimes the tide is out and sometimes it is in.  This morning, there was a gal from the beach club, who, obviously, dragged her chair to the shore.  I decided to focus on her drink, probably a Bloody Mary given the hour,  because I suddenly came up with the title.  If, however, you can't enjoy the beach every morning, you can look at this painting and daydream ...

This is an original work of art by California artist, Nancy Tokos, member American Impressionist Society and Oil Painters of America.  Oil on gesso'd masonite.  Safely packaged and ready to frame but please allow 1-5 days for shipping.  Seascapes are very handsome in a wooden frame, my favorite is barnwood found at Frame USA http://www.frameusa.com/.
