Come closer and enjoy a view of this Caribbean beach oil painting. Soak it in - this piece really captures the feeling of being there. The grape leaf beach tree provides some welcome shade, and the rocks in the foreground add a bit of contrast. But it's the turquoise waters that really take your breath away. They stretch out to the horizon, inviting you to come and explore.

Looking at this painting is like taking a mini-vacation. The colors are so bright and cheerful, it's impossible not to feel happy when you're looking at it. The artist used a palette knife to apply the paint, which gives the painting a unique visible texture. You can see where the paint mixed right on the canvas, and the use of shape and palette knife strokes creates a unique combination of color and texture. It’s like you can almost feel the sand between your toes.

The original photo that the art is based on was shot by photographer and 5th and Rugged artist, Amy Wilson, who has a real talent for capturing the beauty of nature. When you look at this painting, you'll feel like you've been transported to one of her favorite places.
