When the Sand Goes Out

Acrylic 8x10 on Gallery Wrapped canvas When I was a child we called La'aloa beach "White Sands". The sand moves off shore regularly with the storms of winter and fills back in during calm weather. I did my first swimming in big waves here, at considerably greater risk than my family had any idea. Sometimes called "Disappearing Sands" or "Magic Sands", this is a popular and crowded beach these days, but the pattern of the waves remains familiar! This is the second picture finished since the cataract surgery completely changed (for the better) my field of vision. Overwhelmed with newly visible detail, I struggle to redefine what I want to include!
