Seven Days on 30-A: Day 4

Today, we traveled over to Seaside. Seaside is one of several planned communities on 30-A. The movie "The Truman Show" was filmed there. In addition to Seaside's beautiful architecture, the town also has a marvelous outdoor amphitheater. We went there to watch a dramatic spoof on Cinderella. My painting of the evening's performance was quite a challenge. I have never tried to paint an impression of so  many people in plein-air. But it was a lot of fun. 

Kids loved walking by to take a peek.

I also had the pleasure of speaking with a local art student form Panama City.

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge—Day 23.

Our family loves the beach. We try to vacation there every year. There is something about the beach that just rejuvenates and livens the soul. As I long for the beach on this winter day, I painted an image of my youngest daughter splashing around on the shore. It sums up all of the feelings I love most about our vacations by the sea.
