This is a beautiful beach tucked away on the Atlantic coast South of Cape Town. We all went down there on Christmas morning to relax a little before a family lunch. I had time for one small painting:
There was no time for the people on the beach – next time maybe

Lovely watercolor. What a nice way to spend Christmas day, at the beach. This is a new location, I don’t remember you painting here before. And the name sounds familiar. I believe there is a town in Wales with a very similar name. http://www.llandudno.com/
How far away from the pipe is this beach?

What I like about this one, Stephen, is that you captured the movement of air and water. It is more an experience than a picture and that is super difficult to pull off. Perhaps the restriction on time is something that helped to make this particular painting read this way.

What they said….very fresh and such a great way to spend Christmas morning…whilst we freeze.

Hi Carol – Llandudno is over on the other side of the Peninsula – on the Atlantic seaboard where the ocean is very chilly compared to False Bay. I am not sure who named the place but I am sure they could have come up with something more local and creative. But there you are. thanks for the comment. S

Hey June – No man – I don’t know how I would cope with the cold there. It was so good in the sun with the family. Take it easy there. S
