“801. Seaside Beach in the Morning” Watercolor painting by Mariko Irie

In the morning walking on sand at a beach is precious.

Fresh, soft and gentle air is passing.

Waves are coming and going.

What a nice quiet sounds of music.

Birds are flying or running on a beach.

We can jump, dancing with cheer, if we want.

Time is passing with beautiful memories.

“800. Seaside Beach in Silver” Watercolor painting by Mariko Irie

I painted this painting as same as 799. Seaside Beach in Gold.

I painted in regular watercolor and played with Silver watercolor over the painting.

It’s a nice soothing scene. Don’t you think?

“799. Seaside Beach in Gold” Watercolor painting by Mariko Irie

This location is Seaside Beach CA.

I wanted to play with Metallic watercolor with regular watercolor.

First I painted this painting in regular watercolor, and I played with Gold watercolor over this painting.

I didn’t want disharmony between regular watercolor and gold watercolor.

Also I wanted distinguish effect between them.

I feel satisfied with this painting.

And I’m getting to know about metallic watercolor’s nature better.

It’s fun.

This digital file doesn’t shine on Gold part.

I’m going to display this painting at the Norhtcoast Artists Gallery on Oct. 28. I hope you can come to see the painting in person.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” Steve Jobs
If you sit down like this place, you might hear your own inner voice.

This location is at Seaside Beach, CA.

There are several caves at this beach.

Some of them are tunnel. The tunnels go through huge rocks.

This location is Seaside Beach CA.

Can you imagine that house has a gorgeous ocean view?

I can. I guess that my friends house has similar view as their view. I stayed their house for a couple days, just staring the view all day long: Waves, birds, creatures, clouds and colors changing.

And imagine the spectacular sunset.
