Beth Dacey, "Beach Couple with Beach Chair", 30x40 Vintage Summer Oil Painting

About the Item

Beth Dacey's "Beach Couple with Beach Chair" is a 30x40 oil painting on canvas of a woman resting her arm on her partner's leg, while lounging back on a foldable woven beach chair, sitting on a light blue towel. The woman is wearing a white bathing suit, and the man is wearing blue pants. Sunlight shines through the couple creating dappled light through the weave of the light blue chair and casts a shadow onto the beach sand. 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. 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.
