"The Ideal Spot", a 20” x 16” acrylic on canvas started out as the paint-along picture for one of my Paint Parties at the local community center.  As typically happens, the canvas I demonstrated on did not get finished, so it sat in my studio.

     During the Corona Virus 19 pandemic, I pulled out several beach/ocean/tropical island scenes previously started.  This composition was mostly developed, needing only a change in the foreground.

     There was something I didn’t want in the left hand corner, that I painted over with burnt umber, to be a rock.  As I was finishing areas that were acceptable and reworking the composition, the rock expanded to the edge of the canvas.  The right side then needed a smaller image.

     My concept at this point was a rocky outcropping or cliff the viewer climbs over, to view an isolated beach with palm trees growing to the water’s edge and lushly covering land jutting out in the distance.  A perfect spot.  Irridescent paint was used for sunlight glistening on moist sand.
