Beach Stride, 5x7



I took this photo from the seventh floor of Mary's condo, as we were waiting for the last launch of the Shuttle Endeavor. I knew it would be a painting the minute I saw it.

It was a gorgeous day, and a gorgeous launch. It's so exciting to watch that bright, bright light breach the horizon, and to feel the rumble a few minutes after launch. Atmospheric conditions were perfect for a good rumble!

    Wonderful painting. I like the composition. She looks like she's on a mission.
