My new oil painting captures the ever-changing mood of Manasota Key Beach in Florida, where sky and sea meet in a conversation of movement and light.

This painting reflects the quiet beauty of the Nokomis North Jetty Beach, where calm, translucent waters meet weathered stone. Soft layers of blue and green create a gentle sense of depth and movement. This scene captures beachgoers enjoying refreshing moments of tranquility along the shoreline.  This is one of my favorite beaches in Florida.  My husband and I come here often to enjoy the beauty, watch the manatee and dolphins swim, and soak up the tranquility.

This painting can be seen and purchased on my website under, "Abstracts".  I also paint abstract commissions.  You get to pick the size and colors!  You’ll be happy to know that I take meticulous care of my clients, but you’ll never forget how...
