BEACH, LIFEGUARD TOWER, PALMS BY TOM BROWN

“NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY”
5x7 inch original oil painting
by Tom Brown

On a nearly deserted stretch of Newport Beach in the early morning haze I spotted this lifeguard tower, and immediately saw its possibilities as the subject for a charming glimpse of beach life.

“NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY” was the sign posted on the side of this stand, and I felt that would make an interesting title for this piece.

By grouping the entire mass of background buildings into a single value-shape I minimized the focus on the background. This helped place greater emphasis on the lifeguard tower as the key focal point. I was pleased with this result and I hope you like it.

The sun tries to break through the haze of a heavy marine layer as waves gently roll in to the sandy beach. This one is very serene and restful. Hope you like it, and I wish you a peaceful day.
