Path to the Beach

   
     Our almost daily walks on the beach on South Padre Island are entered via this path from our condo.  It is a very rustic path with vegetation on both sides of the winding wooden planks.  I loved the simple colors  changed only by the values caused by shadows and texture.  The path opens to a world of beauty and strength that the pounding surf provides.  This plein air painting was done with the 3 color pallette that James Richards taught in Door County.  The predominately cool color scheme is accented only by the yellow blossoms along the path and the red shirt of the  walker.
