The painting above is "On the Beach" by Edouard Manet (1873).  This painting intrigues me because it really captures the haziness you see on a beach.  The water from the ocean appears to give everything a blurry appearance and he really captured this.  He also did a great job with the coloring of the ocean water, it goes from a light blue to dark blue very smoothly.  I also enjoy how the characters in the front look so peaceful.  The women appears to be enjoying a book while the man appears deep in thought.  In my eyes they both appear content.  I feel i can relate to this feeling when I am at the beach.
