Beach House by Abraham Hunter

The beach is a place to let your cares and stress blow away with the ocean breezes. It’s a place to enjoy simple pleasures like the feeling of sand on bare feet, the sounds of birds calling, the crashing surf, and the sights of the ever changing colors in the sky as the sun arcs across the sky to the place below the horizon where it sets. When planning this painting, I closed my eyes and imagined everything I would love to experience in a perfect moment at my dream beach house. In the observation tower, there’s a telescope ready to observe the night sky. On the porch there’s lights and torches and comfy furniture to enjoy a evening outside and watch the sunset. There’s a heron fishing and a flock of pelicans returning from a day at sea. There’s a classic convertible in the driveway for when you want to take a special someone down a coastline drive with the wind in your hair. For times that you want to travel a little slower, there’s even a beach bicycle to pack a lunch in and go for a long ride. Most importantly, there’s fishing tackle conveniently on the walking bridge over the dunes! This would be my dream Beach House!
