As I approached I couldn't believe how much they had accomplished in such a short amount of time! The one in the pink mixed beautiful pastel colors and added the people walking on the beach. The one in the hat was painting the sand dunes. How cool that they both were facing the same direction and took such different approaches! Another painted the waves rolling in. She used a variety of brilliant blues and greens to capture the essence of the magnificent ocean. The wind was blowing through my hair, I could taste the salty air on my tongue. The constant repetition of the waves was soothing. I came to the beach to get away, to retreat. These artists captured my moment on their canvases - a perfect reflection, impression, and desire.
I overheard one artist say they were coming back tomorrow. Maybe I'll come back too. They didn't seem to mind me watching and it was fun to see them in action.
