I have sold a number of beach scenes at Formby of late, so stocks of this subject were low and I wanted something not too taxing to paint as I worked on a more difficult painting.
It puzzles me why a local beach scene is such a popular subject but I suppose sunny days at the seaside are always uplifting and can hold happy memories – that is, until you have to paint masses of marram grass and footprints in the sand.
Other seaside paintings are available for sale on my website: grahammcquadefineart.com

I think the beach is nature uncorrupted and peaceful. It’s a mental escape. Beautiful piece of art.

A deep appeal of the beach is at the end of the day the beach cleans itself of human trace.

Thanks . Sometimes there is a lot of human – and animal- traces to remove.

Thanks for you kind words Tiffany. My point was why this does this subject get purchased compared to the other things I paint?
