Summer Fun

When I go to the beach with my children each August, it is always so relaxing. The sounds from each time the ocean touches the sand, seem like a song in another language, the meaning of which is so deep that we will never be able to understand. The sea gulls are flying around the beach, looking for any food that the sea will bring to them. Is there any message from the seashell? We know that every summer is the same on the beach, with sunshine and seagulls, even though the world changes all around us.

In this watercolor painting, I tried to capture the mood of the autumn, and the peaceful, loving and harmonious relationship between nature, animals, and people.
