New Tide Pool Painting

Tide Pool II


I tend to go choose the most difficult paintings to create. 
 I love tide pools! I have great memories with my girls at the beach in
the NW and now here in California finding them. This painting was inspired by
the tide pools of Mendocino, California. Although it did start out
vastly different, I ended up using more imagination than my photo 
by the end. I was getting too detailed in all the colors and things
going on in the photo, so I finally took away the photo and just
painted. I included beach sand from this coast into the painting, which is a lot 
of fun. This is for sale at my online gallery.
