After breaking the ice with my first painting in 25 years (see most recent post) I decided to tackle another one. Sue by the Sea, an acrylic on a 24 x 36" canvas, conveyes the memories of vacations my wife Sue and I used to take on the beaches of the east coast. The "Bayside Cafe" is an imaginary place. I used an old building far away from the seashore, here in Arizona, as a reference. I included our dog "Prince" in my imaginary vacation, and indeed this would be a vacation for him, because we could never have him outside without a leash, as he would run away and would not be smart enough to return.
