Lovely! You can really see the layers of paint that Hassam used to build up the image, adding such a rich depth. *happy sigh*
Ahh, yes, lovely is the word. I can smell the salt tang and feel that angled sun on my face!
I love the single, small, fluffy cloud, too.
He even painted the breeze!
Beautiful image.
Nice–I didn’t know of Hassam but I can see he had that impressionist vibe down
