Dunes in Autumn


This was painted in plein air at the beach the other day and is 7 x 10. Robert Moses State Park has a wonderful boardwalk that meanders through the dunes to and past the lighthouse. I've painted the lighthouse several times, but wanted to focus on the vegetation on the dunes themselves this time. There are more flowering shrubs at this time of year in yellows and reds. It was a lovely spot.

Hi Joan, I found your blog by following from Ai's blog! What a treat to see this gorgeous watercolor. I love the delicacy of the plant life, and the picturesque scene. Thank you for blogging your work - I look forward to coming back here often.
