A day at the beach



A day out painting at the beach, and I saw a fox, pictured.

I painted for 6 hours or so, enjoying the view of changing clouds and the cold, stiff wind off of the North Sea. The wind shook the canvas so hard that precision in painting was impossible. I kept changing the painting to match the changing clouds - maybe I should have brought a video camera instead of a canvas. My finished work has leaves, dirt, and sand in it from the wind.

How about an interpretive painting of the fox?

please, be my guest! I'm thinking, a big blue square would capture it well.
