Palms at the Beach

[vandra]

I haven't been painting for a while, so enjoyed getting back into artrage.
I used the sparse bristle brush for the palm leaves. They may look a bit "stiff". If anyone has any hints on painting palm leaves I will be most grateful as there are a lot around here (where i live)

Lovely tropical seascape. A painting which makes cheaper holiday to our eyes!

Curious effect with the blurring in places. It brings it to life because in reality I occasionally have to adjust my vision. Also gives it a personal dreamlike quality. Colors are very sunny and gives an intense feeling.

The interpretation that pops in is musical lyrics: Tales of Brave Ulysses by The Cream

I hear:
You see a girl's brown body, laughing through the turquoise and her footprint makes you follow where the sky meets the sea. . . (etc)

Good to see you back! Hope all's been well.

Thank you Caesar

Thanks D.Akey. I'm not sure that I didn't go over the top a bit with the blurring. Thanks for making me feel better about it , and thanks for the "welcome back" too.

Good music!

You have created a fascinating 3D effect. Intriguing.
