Inspire Me Thursday - Beach… and another exhibition
Posted Thursday, July 31 at 12:42 pm by Kirsten
This week’s topic for Inspire Me Thursday is the beach. The idea for this painting came to me as soon as I read the prompt on their website, but it has taken me a while to get it painted.
I wanted to create something with lots of texture. This is what I came up with:
Sorry, it isn’t a very good picture. The painting is quite large and I took this photo standing on the table and holding the camera as high as the ceiling, and it still doesn’t quite all fit in the frame. Hope it shows a little bit of the texture I tried to create.
In other news, next week I will be involved in an exhibition called “Through My Eyes”. I am one of 6 artists exhibiting, and it is the biggest exhibition I have been involved in. So, if you’re interested and live in the Brisbane area, I’d love to see you there! Come along to our opening night and you can sip a glass of wine, meet the artists and view some art.

Opening night 6pm 08/08/08
& 11am - 6pm on 9, 10, 11 & 12 August

I opened the picture up and it does have great texture. Kind of like a slice of the beach. Can almost see the waves rolling in. Thanks for visiting my blog. Looks like you were even later than me.

I agree with Laurel, you can really see how beautiful this is when you click to make it larger. I can see why it took you some time to make. I love it.
