Beaches and Bathtubs

I was recently commissioned to paint a serene beach scene. Since the Inner Harbor is the closest body of water to me and does not always inspire serenity, I naturally turned to my bathtub for inspiration.

I blasted The Beach Boys, filled my tub with sand, made some ocean waves in my bath water, and prayed to Brian Wilson for some good ideas. Brian Wilson told me to try Pinterest, so I did.

Also, I will also be painting. Stay tuned...
