Bermuda Pink Sand Cove by Phyllis O'Shields Contemporary Impressionism

Bermuda Pink Sands Private Cove  ©PhyllisO’Shields 2011

24 x 30 inches Original Oil on Canvas

My Inspiration: Each year I spend a few weeks in St Georges, Bermuda in order to paint the local scenery and culture. Most of my original oil paintings of Bermuda are filled with the bright yet delicate tropical colors.

The pink sands in Bermuda turn salmon color in the setting sun. Bermuda’s pink sand beaches look as if they have been dyed with iridescent paints.
The colors in the sand are created by the force of the ocean’s powerful waves that crush sea invertebrates like coral, mollusks, clams, and other organisms.
The remains of the red-coloured creatures mix with the other sea animals. The pulverized shells mix with the sand giving it a pink tint.
This soft rose color of Bermuda’s beaches contrast perfectly with the aquamarine ocean waters. This color palette equals an artist’s paradise.

This oil painting of a private, secluded cove is one of the most perfect examples of the pink sand and aquamarine water. I return to this cove each year to paint, always undisturbed by visitors.  This year I will be returning in the winter to this spot holding en plein air workshops...

This was originally one of many small en plein air paintings in oil later in my studio turned into a larger painting.

Bermuda is a self-governing British Colonial territory north of the Caribbean full of culture and a beautiful preserved way of life.
