The Beach Path at Cap d'Ail 24x36
The above is a work in progress that may take some time yet to complete, because it is filled with the sort of detail that I don't normally use in painting, architectural and particularly the people in the scene which need fleshing out: I am placing myself (seated on the bench) and three other friends, at our present ages, in this scene where we shared good times in the distant past, because in a real sense we still inhabit that place: it is sun-warmed and carefree and full of possibility in a way that only youth can truly embrace, and yet we still hold onto that feeling even in our advancing years. Just a short walk into the foreground brings one to the border of Monaco, and the homes along this coast and the people living there were all quite posh.
And then I have two studies from my dog walks, along Oswego Creek as the season turns lush and soft.
