Michelle Champion Murphy (American, active 20th to 21st century). "Seaside with Green Umbrella" oil on canvas, ca. 2015. Signed on lower right. A breathtaking seaside painting of Tybee Island, Georgia by Michelle Champion Murphy who hails from nearby Savannah. Murphy is an expressionistic colorist whose art is fueled by her "exuberance for the natural world surrounding her." In "Seaside with Green Umbrella" Murphy invites the viewer to stroll along the pink sand and join beachgoers as they watch the gentle waves lap the shoreline, breath in the ocean air, feel the soft breezes, build sandcastles, soak up the golden sun, or relax beneath an umbrella. In addition to this blissful theme, Murphy's loose brushwork, dazzling light effects, and radiant palette are beyond mesmerizing. A dreamy paradise on canvas that provides a delicious escape from reality where one can almost hear the peaceful sound of the rolling waves and feel the healing properties of warm grains of sand! Size: 16" L x 20" W (40.6 cm x 50.8 cm) Size of frame: 23.4" L x 27.5" W (59.4 cm x 69.8 cm)
