Description
Our summer holidays as children were spent in Bembridge on the Isle of Wight where I now live. The other week I trundled round on my mobility scooter visiting my favourite haunts. This shot of Bembridge Lifeboat Station through the trees is just where the steps lead down to the beach and to the exact spot we invariably used for swimming.
It is true the original photograph is rather appealing and some of you on Facebook have already seen it as my header but true to form, I had to play.
I used two textures from Design Cuts — a yellow-based and a green-based one. I ran the photograph through Topaz Impression three or four times to produce different effects. I chose to layer ‘Cezanne 1’ and ’Cavedweller’ (as you do) and blended them with the textures to produce a digital painting. I hope it pleases you as much as it did me in its creation.

Love the story and all of it reminds me of a classic Swedish movie that had a scene similar to this. The old man recalled his life in his dying moments and his fondest memory was a day with his family at the beach. Beautiful work of art! FAVORITE!

Sarah this is glorious ... and I love your bit of back-story as well. Visiting the haunts of our childhood can be so sadly-sweet ... mostly sweet, though, right?? I think I know what you were feeling when you visited. Plus, don't you feel sometimes, working on special images like this one, that you're back there again??? Lovely, lovely piece of art, as always from you!!!! l/f t and p
