This painting has been completed "alla prima."
In Italian, the term "alla prima" means "at first attempt". In other words, the paintings are completed in a single session, on location, without further layers or refinements in the studio. Alla prima paintings tend more toward impressionistic than realistic, while the subjects are definitely recognizable.
Foggy day painting. No horizon line. Edges blur, except for those up close. Surf Drive beach... but honestly it could be just about anywhere, couldn't it?
5"x7" oil on board, suitable for framing
