The backdrop of stately old hotels, the sweep of pebbled beach, the festive beach cabanas, the dancing sailboats, and above all the unmistakable velvet waters of the Cote d'Azur, combine to make this a perfect subject for my Robert Girrard Impressionist style.

I used bold strokes to convey the vibrant colors of the flags and beach cabanas. The pristine white sailboats dance on the waves; the wispy clouds heighten the sense of a blustery afternoon. Anyone who enjoys sea breeze, sand, and water will surely relish their time at The Beach at Nice. - TK
