Why do oil paintings of popular places, especially beaches around the world? Because people love to travel to places like these and create memories they will take home with them. When vacationers want to be reminded of a favorite location where lots of wonderful memories were made they turn to visual aides. These can be in the form of photographs or they can be paintings that will be hung on the walls of their home or office. As an artist, painting canvases of well traveled vacation spots can mean revenue for you because people will want to buy paintings that remind them of the fun times they had. This is a resource you will not want to overlook if you are wanting to make a living from your art.
