Beach with Blue Umbrellas Painting

I was on vacation in St. Augustine, Florida when I captured this scene with my camera. I was walking the beach in the early morning, the hotel staff were still setting up the chairs and umbrellas for their guests that day. It was beautifully calm and quiet. Only a few people get up so early when they're on vacation, but it's my favorite time of day, especially at the beach. I started this painting in my studio shortly after returning home. I processed what I would do in my mind, then in a sketch, which lead to a value study and a study on the main subject, the umbrella and chair in the foreground. When it came to painting it on the big sheet it all came together very neatly because I'd done my homework. I hope you enjoy this scene as much as I did!
