15 Painting: Bathers react as the beach suddenly tilts down to the left. The water greedily awaits the coming feast.

20 It's not horrible but the artist wasn't too detail oriented for sure. Can barely make out some of the people as people.

Obviously meant to be viewed from across the room.

31 Have to buy a new laptop. I've been nursing this one along, but when the art is coming out all blurry, it's time for a change.

63 Oh, when the sun beats down
And burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot
You wish your tired feet were fireproof
Under the boardwalk
Down by the sea, yeah

64 Embiggening makes this even more blurry. Lady squatting on the left starts to look like a big white dog.

78 This is a delightful use of Impressionist style: vivid colors fluidly applied. The way small dabs of various colors that coalesce into a whole image is intriguing. Beyond the style, the scene is pleasant but not static. The water moves in the breeze, the children are playing, the boats moving in the distance, and the dog is romping. It gives the sense of sound as well as sight. The lady in the foreground, fully dressed but relaxed, adds a touch of sophistication as do the umbrellas with a vague Oriental motif.

From a modern point of view, the uncrowded beach, the modest clothing (not essential public nudity) and lack of buildings crowding the shore makes the scene almost idyllic. If I lived by the ocean I would hang this.

I'm not Seamus, I just borrowed the name
And without him it'll never be the same
It's been 18 long years
full of laughter and tears
But doggerel's a younger man's game.
