Ah, Sand scapes! The beach has so many textures and intricacies to catch your eye. In my third Sand Scape, I captured the patterns of wet and dry sands. When a wave rushes inwards, it leaves bubbles as its memories when it recedes. These bubbles burst and leave dry patterns in the wet sand. Aren't they wonderful?
I added a footprint in the dry sand, as people leave their memories in the sand too. Of course, as the next tide and the world turns, these memories are replaced my new ones. Still, they are here today.
I will paint at least two more SandScapes before I am done. They will not capture all the moods of the beach sands, but will touch some of them.
Look in my Gallery for some of my other Sand Scape paintings.

The Heritage Falls Gallery in West Linn, Oregon requested I do another art demonstration Tuesday, July 7th, so come and join me there from 5 to 9 pm. It would be a great way to start your holiday if you are in the area.
Meanwhile, I am painting SandScape IV, which will show the zen of clams. To see the process of my paintings, please join me in my art journey through my blog. I share my thoughts, techniques, and general life philosophy as I paint my way through my days.
