gouache 1 (2)
A crowded pool deck above a marina, with swimmers in the water, sunbathers packed around all four sides, and masts filling the distance behind.
Seen from above and to one side, so the pool sits as a pale rectangle on the diagonal with figures ranked around it. Two people stand in the near foreground, the largest in the picture, and set the scale.
Warm sand and cream through the decking against jade and turquoise water. The crowd carries small hot notes — coral, orange, crimson — scattered so none dominates.
Every figure is two or three loaded strokes with no outline and no face, and the crowd is built from their repetition at diminishing size. The umbrella at the right is the thickest paint in the picture.
Gouache on paper. Matte and opaque, with wide unpainted margins and the title pencilled below.
Lower left, raypatrick, in red over the decking, partly cropped. Below the image, in pencil: Shade Hotel, Redondo Beach.
