Looks like a place I want to be right now....beautiful painting

Artist Reply: Thanks. It was fun sitting there painting to the sound of the waves,,,,,,,

A fun capture for you! I really like the waves- they look so real... the spray coming off the top is terrific! I wonder what has happened to AW's notification service? I happened upon this by chance, looking at your portfolio. I have not received the latest postings by Sharon G, either!

Artist Reply: Thanks Julie, It was fun doing plein air and I'm sure I have real sand in the painting lol. Not sure about art watch either...Maybe it has changed also.

Incredibly pretty Sandra and lovely details (especially the castle)......i love the soft luminous quality that you only get with chalk pastels :o))
