Another popular artist seen in the photo above is Toreen West. Following in the footstep of her mother, West has met commercial success both for her original creations and for her consignment artwork, often painting children at the beach in light colored, flowing outfits. The somewhat romanticized vision captures the flavor of the beach experience and innocence of the curious, youthful soul.
