Ocean Grove NJ is my favorite beach on the Jersey Shore. I love the Christian history and vibe of it and is one of the sources of my paintings. This one is inspired by a photo a friend Cheryl Scoles took from the balcony of the Ocean Grove Retreat Center. One of the landmarks of Ocean Grove the Cross on the beach by the Boardwalk Pavillion but is 100 yards or so south of the Retreat Center. So in the spirit of Bob Ross's credo of "You can do anything you want to do. This is your world" I relocated the view as if there was building with a porch behind the pavillion. I tried to include the beach snack shack. Not thoroughly happy with it the results but it's a nice scene. As usual
