AS SUMMER FADES

AS SUMMER FADES is an original, abstract beach landscape. The atmosphere of a childhood memory of a long, warm summer vacation takes center stage. 

A young child sits alone on the beach in a vast, nearly empty landscape. The soft, weathered colors and the subtle look of an old photograph give the work a strong vintage character, as if you were looking back at a faded memory of a long-gone vacation.
 
The background is reminiscent of weathered concrete, built up from various layers of plaster, acrylic paint, and pigments. Cracks and fissures, peeling paint, and visible structure and texture give the surface a weathered character. 
 
The combination of red, orange, pink, white, and soft earth tones enhances the warm atmosphere of summer. The girl, alone on the beach, evokes a sense of stillness and nostalgia.
 
The work is about the memories we hold onto of summer, the beach, vacations, and youth. Memories that fade over the years but never completely disappear.
