Oil on Linen

Maple Shadow Frame

I did these series after a great week at the beach this March. I wear polarized sunglasses at the beach and it gives everything I see a glittery exaggerated color. Almost like it becomes an idealized version of what is really infant of you. This group of painting I did not paint with actual sunglasses on but I did wear my artist license rose colored glasses to push and exaggerate the colors as much as I could to create an idealized late afternoon sparkles on the water. Places where there is lot of neutrals and then raging bits of color are what appeals to me right now. These are so similar to the ski paintings but with just sand not snow. Water reflections not snowflakes. I have obviously enjoyed it.

One picture of two girls with one of them taking old school pictures became a mini series. I painted numerous paintings of them!

In person these paintings are much softer. I guess I am throwing my camera curve ball to have so many vivid colors. They are very vivid, don get me wrong, they are just photographing a little harsher than they are in person. In other words, they are better in person.

Two framed prints are available of this painting under a separate listing.

I know it is a lot of risk to buy something this large online! If you get the painting after buying it and it is not what you hoped you can return it. Just email me for more information! laura@lauraloe.com
