| Citrus Delights, 8x10", oil on archival linen board, $125 incl ship |
I'm Shelley Smart and I moved to the amazingly beautiful Hollywood Beach in Oxnard, California in February 2010.
For my first whole year at the beach, February 21, 2010 until February 20, 2011, I challenged myself to compile
a daily record in photographs and words of "A Year at the Beach." I DID IT!
Now it's time to get back to painting! I intend to post one painting a week for one year inspired by my beach photography.
And hopefully I'll add to that with other paintings as well. I will not push myself quite so hard on this blog!

Oh I LIKE this one!!... Great colors!!!
It totally works!
Marian has said everything I wanted to so "ditto". Fabulous piece Shelley.
The colors here really pop and almost appear to glow... Oh, I love the title, hehehe!
Bises,

Thanks, Genie! Isn't Citrus Delight some sort of fruit drink?? Seems vaguely familiar!! :-)
Fantastic colors! Very beautiful!
Gorgeous! Love the texture in the background and the way you made the orange the "star". Beautifully done!
Thanks, Carol! It was fun!
Try putting a blue or lavender background behind the citrus and you get sizzling color vibration. These are beautifully painted.
thanks Mary. this time I wanted to explore an analogous color scheme. But I, too, love the complements together! And I hope to paint some more...eventually.
Adding you to my bloglist, Shelley:)
HI, Deepa! Welcome! I hope to post some more beach paintings some day soon! Thanks for visiting and for your kind words!
So nice. I love your blog!
Thanks, Suzanne(paints)! It's been a while since I've painted but hope to get back to it in a few weeks.
Fabulous painting, they look totally real, and the colors are awesome!
Hi Shelley...waving. What have you been up to.
Hi, Mary. We are busy selling our condo at the beach and moving to a new house (inland) and renovating that house. No painting for me until we get settled.
Thanks for writing!
