About the Item

Beth Dacey's "Fun in the Sun" is a 36x36 oil painting on canvas of two women in vintage swimwear sitting on a teal towel against a beach landscape. One woman is in a navy blue swimsuit and the other in a dark red one piece with white detailing. Dacey is inspired by vintage, black and white, family photographs. These photos tell stories from the past. They offer clues in context, posture, clothing and subtle gestures. As the images filter through her and make their way onto the canvas, by way of color, stroke, perspective, and composition, they come to life. They become characters in an evolving narrative. Her hope is that each painting will tell a story to you as well. About the artist: Beth Dacey has studied painting at the museum schools at the DeCordova, in Lincoln, MA and at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. She has a BA and MA from Boston College and, for a number of years, taught writing and literature there. She is a member of the SOWA Artists Guild, Copley Society of Art, and the Newburyport Art Association. Beth now lives in Newbury, Massachusetts and is grateful to be able to paint in her studio there, overlooking the Great Marsh. She still has her studio in the South End.

This interior painting, "Waiting for Train", is a 40x30 oil painting on canvas by artist Beth Dacey depicting multiple figures in an open train hall.
