One of the things I like about Ocean City is the sidewalks. You can walk anywhere on a sidewalk, unlike many seaside places where there may be more spaces between homes but very often you end up walking along a highway to get anywhere. Everything is very civilized in Ocean City - some would say too civilized as there is no alcohol allowed. The housing stock says "seashore" to me and I love it. Here are two paintings of those houses including one of Grace Kelly's home at the shore when she was young.

ReplyDeleteI like how in these recent paintings the canvas size is getting bigger and yet you are retaining the uncluttered designs of the smaller paintings.
When you started enlarging recently , you seemed to add more things into the pictures ...which somewhat mitigated the effect of enlargement imo
One must look closely , even peer at a 5x7. But a 16x16 can impose on our vision ...like windows to a real place.
Love the shore houses and the light!
Thanks Anne. Trying to keep things simple for some reason is the hardest thing!
