    This looks like a modern take on an impressionist painting. Renoir, maybe?

    I am going to go with Georges Seurat – A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte is the feel I get from this photo, not just for the positioning of the subject but for the light exposure that gives it the impressionist feeling. Great photograph, Ellen.

    Timeless beach scene. Perfectly captured. Great pic

    Charming. I agree with Michelle. Hat looks like a work of Mary Cassatt.

    I love the pastel colors–I was also thinking of impressionist masters (Renoir, Seurat) before I read other people’s comments. This photo perfectly captures that feel.

    God, I love this photo. I had to google Renoir for “Figures on the Beach,” but it reminds me of it. I agree with Seurat too. Looks like a painting brought to life – timeless. Perfection.

    The hat brings a Homer painting to my mind, in addition to the other references already mentioned. Wonderful composition, colors, and mood. It epitomizes summer serenity and sunlight.

    Thanks everyone for your comments. For me it was all about the light of a summer morning, and the line of the umbrella, the hat, and the blanket.
