At the northern tip of Anna Maria Island, is a wonderful beach called Bean Point. The drive takes a bit longer than other beaches but the views and sunsets are amazingly. Across the water to the east is the sky bridge due shows small uninhabited islands and finally to the west the wide ocean. The sunsets never disappoint.
For me, nothing beats a great beach sunset. I think of sunsets as a portal to joy. With my sunset art I hope to share that feeling of being transported.
Making the umbrella for this collage was a bit challenging. I picked the colors out from pieces of old paper made from mixing paint to find the perfect color. As I started cutting strips, I realized it was a painting on a very thick paper. I looked around my studio but don’t find anything else I liked so I took a mat knife with a new blade to the thick paper.
