Waiting And Baiting

Waiting And Baiting

Sometimes, or maybe always, it takes patience to fish.  I love to go fishing but have not had the opportunity for awhile.  I think after the hot weather is over, I'm going to convince someone to fish with me.

Beach Walk

Beach Walk

This couple was walking quite fast along the beach and the little bird stayed with them at the edge of the water for a very long time.  Maybe he liked the bright red hat and swimsuit.

Hydrangeas In Blue Vase

Hydrangeas In Blue Vase

Bill arrived last night with a large shopping bag full of hydrangeas that he picked at the house, in the rain. Our "Endless Summer" bushes  are weighted down with blossoms and my husband knew how much I would enjoy having some at the beach.  I made several arrangements and decided to paint these this morning. I never tire of these as a still life subject. There is only one shade of blue that tops this one- and that is  Carolina Blue !

Surf Fishing

This is one I painted yesterday-had trouble posting last

night so I will post two today.

I love seeing what everybody is catching on the beach and there are

lots of vacationers here already having fun in this great weather.

I'm planning to go crabbing later in the week!

Pinwheel Parade

Pinwheel Parade

Pinwheels have been a favorite of mine ever since I began painting.  I

want to warn you that I have felt a sudden and irrepressible urge to

re-visit an old favorite.  You will probably soon  begin  seeing them in quantity because now

that I have started, I may not be able to stop. I'll try avoiding them for a few days and see if

the urge goes away!

Mountain Moonlight

A romantic week-end getaway is usually made even better
by the appearance of the moon at twilight. This moon was not quite full, but was
much photographed when it showed up among the pink clouds.  There
was a wedding reception with a great band, and the rocking chairs on the porch
were a great spot to relax and enjoy the music after dinner.

This is my post for Thursday, May 12, 2011
Blogger has been down for many hours so I was not able to post 
yesterday's painting until now.

Old Car In Florida

Old Car In Florida

This is the very first of the Daily Paintworks Challenges and I finally

got around to doing it today. This one came before I started doing the challenges.

 Carol Marine took the photo and

put it up for all of us hardworking painters to take a crack at it.

Thanks, Carol.  It was tough but fun.
