Walking across this beach was the culmination of another amazing morning spent in Costa Rica. We had set out from where we were staying an hour of so before walking slightly inland then turning and coming back towards the coast and following the tideline back towards our hotel. The walk was full of fascinating plants and birdlife, and I saw many species I hadn't seen before. Here at low tide, the beach was a contrast of bi-colored sand, rocks and verdant greenery all set out under a stunning blue sky - most of this I tried to capture in my painting. More and more, I seem to be creating a visual diary of my travels and this has been the inspiration behind my work. Size is 9 x 12 inches, oil on canvas board.
