Dunes at Cupsogue Beach

If you follow my blog you are aware of how I am attracted to the beach, the dunes, and the foliage that is there. Cupsogue Beach in Westhampton has some really nice dunes and a great beach. I'll have to make a point to get there this summer.

 

Beach Fences

 At the end of Dune Road in Westhampton is Cupsogue Beach. I was there on a cold, very windy day. The beach fences and their shadows attracted me.

Beach Dunes at Cupsogue Beach

I took a ride down to Cupsogue Beach in Southampton. It is at the very western end of Dune road. It was a cold, windy day so I happily sketched from the comfort of my mobile studio.

I heard noises up on the roof of my car, and then I saw feet standing on the sunroof. Before I knew it I had a visitor sitting on the front of my car. If I knew he was going to stay as long as he did, I would have sketched him too.

I moved the car a bit and got back to sketching another view from my mobile studio. Both of these are 4 x 6 paintings for the postcard project.

Cupsogue Beach

On Sunday I went to Cupsogue Beach at the end of Dune Road in Westhampton. I haven't been there in about a year and it changed quite a bit. The Beach Hut Raw Bar and Grill is now on the level of the parking lot. You still have to walk up the boardwalk to get over the dunes and to the beach. I wonder if the renovations were due to the winter storms. It is a nice, quiet beach. I'll have to make sure to go back again.

Beach Life

Now that I'm home I've been spending a little time at the beach when it hasn't been raining.

There is always an endless supply of models in different positions...

or places right on the beach that would be wonderful to stay in for a while.

I used to dream about having a house on the beach, but after last year's hurricane damage

I don't want to OWN one any more...but I'll gladly come and stay. lol

This was done from Cupsogue Beach in Westhampton.

Stripes on the Beach

This is another painting I did on the beach the other day at Cupsogue Beach. Striped umbrellas always remind me of the one my family had when we were kids. This is also in my book for the "Sketchbook Project."

Cupsogue Beach View

Yesterday I ventured over to Cupsogue Beach on Dune Road in Westhampton. I love the view of the bay from the boardwalk there. This is one of the paintings in my "Sketchbook Project" journal that will be submitted when I finish all the sketches. This is 3 x 5.
