Beach Talk 8x10 oil on canvas, Margaret Aycock

I saw these two ladies as I walked along the shore this summer.  I imagined they were sisters, maybe twins even, who never got out of the habit of dressing alike.  They seemed to be stopping to rest for a while before continuing their own walk along the shore.  I started this painting with a wash of color and after deciding I kind of liked it just that way, decided to keep much of the wash in the painting, especially in the sky.  It gave the appearance of a sky right after a rain.  Anyways the painting looks a lot cooler in person than it does in this photo. I just posted this to my ebay auction site along with some other little paintings.  check them out at http://midwest-fine-art.com/  to find out more about me and my work or to purchase an oil painting video, check out my blog at http://margaretaycock.blogspot.com/
