Nadine Yura - Calligraphy of Color

My husband and I took an early morning drive to Long Beach Island recently so I could take some reference photos for paintings I wanted to do of "life on the Island". LBI is a barrier island nearby where people who vacation there can walk or ride bicycles to the beach. As we drove along the main drag, the Boulevard,  I was able to capture the migrating beach goers with their gear in tow (beach umbrellas, chairs, coolers, etc). These two ladies and their matching backpack-style beach chairs caught my eye. Love the patterns and colors! I've included my reference photos so you can see how much I cropped the image. Please enjoy "Beach Bound" 6"x 6" Oil on Panel .
