Cheap Beach Chair

The inspiration for this series comes from many family trips to Charleston, SC and the surrounding beaches. He loves the bright, varied, happy colors of the woven fabrics of the beach chairs. A few years back, he and his daughter, Stephanie, spent a long weekend on IOP. They bought some Cheap Beach Chairs at the grocery. They were so cheap; they broke by the time their trip ended. After that experience, he has noticed broken beach chairs in the trash on a regular basis. The Cheap Beach Chair paintings are great studies for paint and color relationships. It is a learning experience in mixing colors, seeing them next to each other, looking and learning about various values, intensities, local color, opacity etc.
