On the Beach, Ocean City, New Jersey, watercolor collage, circa 1981, approx. 22" X 23"

Story

On a family vacation to the New Jersey shore we spent time walking the boardwalk, swimming, and sitting on the beach at Ocean City. This was the town that the kids felt most comfortable in. They loved the beach. With plenty of time to think, I took in the sky, water, boardwalk, pier, and the riot of color in the swimsuits, towels, coolers, and beach umbrellas. I envisioned this abstracted interpretation, and went home and created On the Beach, Ocean City, New Jersey.
