"Go Fly a Kite" is a vibrant piece that showcases a delightful coastal scene, crafted using colored pencils on blue paper. Measuring 9x12 inches, the artwork invites viewers into its whimsical and serene atmosphere. The foreground features a charming pathway running parallel to the coastline, bordered by lush grass and a series of quaint street lamps. A green fence on the right leads the eye toward an elevated area dotted with more grass and trees, adding depth and interest to the composition.
At the center of the scene, a playful, giant nine foot fish-shaped kite decorated with dynamic blue and green colors dances against the natural landscape. The kite's joyful presence enlivens the tranquil coastal setting. The shoreline blends sandy and rocky textures as it meets a calm expanse of water, reflecting the peaceful ambiance of a beach day.
The expansive sky occupies a significant portion of the artwork, animated with flowing blue and white clouds that add a dynamic element to the scene. Natural and cheerful elements weave together to evoke a sense of leisure and contentment. This piece captures the essence of kite flying on Algoma, Wisconsin’s Crescent Beach, a local favorite known for its consistent breezy conditions, making it an ideal spot for this delightful activity.
