Walkway to the beach bar (Original, Signed and Framed)

Painting Size: 70cm x 55cm

Oil on Fabriano oil paper

There's a kind of chalkiness to this painting, which is influenced by a beach called Meia Praia.  Whilst staying in Portugal I have run along the raised wooden walkway many times, zig zagging along the length of the beach passing a few beach restaurants and bars.  

There's a simple naivety to this painting and I'd hope a calming feeling from the colour palette.  Whilst painting it I was trying to remember all the holidays I've had when I've found myself on a beach, seeking out refreshment of some kind.  My favourite spots if I can recall them accurately have always been slightly away from tourist traps, more shady, more secluded, more intimate. There's something very lovely about feeling a light burn on your skin, sitting on a bar stool and having a cold drink. And maybe some fries followed by ice cream.
