Mother's Day at the Beach

These paintings were completed at the beach on Mother's day.  It was quite foggy and misty at first and then decided to warm up.  They are created with Golden Open Acrylic Paint and took about an hour each to paint as I enjoyed watching my grandchildren play in the sand.  Some of the sand and spray became part of the paintings.
