“803. Morning Walk at Seaside Beach” Watercolor Painting by Mariko Irie

This location is Seaside Beach, CA

As walking at a beach in the morning, a lot of thoughts are coming through in my mind.

“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” Marcus Aurelius

“Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.” Ray Bradbury

“An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.” Henry David Thoreau

Morning walk is so precious, isn’t it?

“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

This location is Seaside Beach.

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.

It’s a nice, quiet and gentle atmosphere, isn’t it?

“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.

“You can’t blame gravity for falling in love. ”      Albert Einstein

It’s nice quiet time at foggy morning. But too many days is too much, you get tired, right?

You understand my feeling.

So today I present Sunny Morning for you.

“795. Waves at Sunny Morning” Oil Painting by Mariko Irie

Good day sunshine,
