Coupeville Shore
I’ve always wanted to paint this stretch of Whidbey Island beach, just north of the Coupeville boardwalk. This day the warm afternoon sun struck the red-orange bark on the madrona trees, feeling rich and magical. The temperature difference between the warm glow of the sun on the beach brush against the cool violet shadowed cliffs were exciting aspects that I wanted to explore. This started with a small plein air sketch with color notes and some photos and was developed into a studio painting exploring values, color, and temperature once I returned home.
