A familiar beach scene. I needed something quickly as we are just about to launch a pop-up gallery in Southport and I realised I didnt have a local beach scene. They've proved popular having recently sold one and another in an exhibition at our main art gallery, which opened last Saturday. So using my Clairfontaine pastel mat, I rustled this up, just in time for the hanging.
I was reticent about participating in this pop-up exhibition as sales at the venue havent been good and we are in the middle of an economic turndown. In the end the 'in it to win it' mentality prevailed and, anyway, it is good to be out and about meeting people. Added to that, I always take some work to keep me occupied, so if nothing else, at least I come home with a painting on Fridays( my day at the gallery)
Other beach scenes are available for sale on my website: grahammcquadefineart.com
