“James Patterson”

9x12 oil on canvas

Isn’t it interesting to watch couples?  Their body language, the way they relate to each other...  What better place to people watch than the beach?  I could see this painting the minute I saw them.  What a great natural composition. What a perfect color combination... What I didn’t know at the time, however, was what she was reading. My original photograph was taken at a pretty far distance away.  It wasn’t until I got home, cropped the picture, and really studied it that I saw she was reading a James Patterson book. I am a HUGE James Patterson fan... “Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas” is one of my favorite books.  Knowing that just made me love this little painting even more.
