Fashion beach feel with a touch of Glam, touching on sunglasses being the modern day mask of modern society. Playing with background scenery and working in a more abstract style than usual.

In Beach 1, Simone Scholes highlights a different aspect of the beach. The beach is majestic, beautiful, and enchanting, but so are the people enjoying it. Our excitement about going to the beach, taking a tropical vacation does not stem simply from our love of the ocean, but from the lifestyle, glamour, and sexiness it entails. No one wants a crowded beach, and since we so often find ourselves on one, there is a certain longing for an empty expanse of sea and sand all to ourselves. However, if this were all we had, the beach would be less alluring. It is one, if not the only place, where most people feel comfortable being next-to-naked around a hoard of strangers. It is a place where we can escape certain societal expectations of propriety (obviously, there's a limit, don't get carried away!), our everyday concerns, and the often-stifling weight of the world. Beach 1 celebrates this chic and irresistible nature of seaside leisure. And so should we.

I’d tell you to buy the painting, but someone already did.
