Kite Flying on Menemsha Beach
Watercolor on paper, 10" x 7", 1994

Kite flying is, of course, a popular pastime at the beach. Compositionally, I was interested in the contrast of the girl outstretched letting go of the kite with the massive form of the cliff in the background. Her swimsuit-blue ties her compositionally to the sky.
