Tropical Beach Paradise Tiki Resort Painting

© 2013 Barbara Rosenzweig
Original Watercolor Painting
8x10 $190

I have to say, I love being at the shore! I can't seem to get enough of it - whether it's walking the beach, watching children play there, listening to the sound of the relentless surf, observing the wildlife, being mesmerized by fantastic sunsets, or feeling a wonderful sense of calm descend on me every time I'm there.
 
This latest beach painting is of a little Tiki bar located right on the beach. I was fascinated by the wonderful silhouette shapes created by the palm thatching of the Tiki umbrellas, the chair rungs, and the rocks. My goal, which I know is unattainable, was to capture the feel and look of the glowing sun as it was about to set.
 
What are your favorite beach memories?

GIRL INTO THE SURF


My wonderful scene shows the pure girlish delight at being on the beach. I tried to capture this child's independent strut into the surf to fill her bucket! Can you smell the salt air, hear the surf, and feel the sand between your toes?

POMEGRANATES


The pomegranate is mentioned in ancient texts of the Bible and Homer. It's valued for its beauty and versatility as a fruit with medicinal qualities, It also is a symbol of prosperity, fruitfulness, and ambition, with many myths and religious meanings ascribed to it. That's what drew me to create this watercolor, showing the stunning fruit growing on its small tree. I hope that you enjoy the fine art reproduction made from my original painting.

Gayle from whatshername created this collection with Etsy items that have free shipping. Glad that she included my Pomegranates here!

Beach Bird - Royal Tern


A trip to the beach is always delightful! This feathered friend was happy to pose for me.
