waiting to go out

6x8 inches, Oil paint with cold wax on hardwood panel

A soft beach scene with two rowboats waiting in the dunes on a sunny day. They sit in the hot stillness, not quite able to see the water over the dunes in front of them.

This painting began with a photo of the dunes taken at one of the beaches on Cape Cod this year, with the boats painted in to add structure and color.

Framed in a beachy tan wooden frame with an easel-back ready for tabletop display, or it is also ready to be hung on a wall.
