Summer Retreat

I had a great time painting this scene because I love this house and its surroundings. It is very old and has an unusual floor plan, not to mention a fabulous view. This painting is going to a show at the beach.

Happy Memorial Day and thanks to all those who have served our country and protected our freedom. This is also the unofficial opening of the summer season. My favorite places to be in the summer nearly always include the ocean. I hope this is the start of a wonderful summer for all of you, wherever you may be.

Thank you for looking at my art.

These snowy winter days are causing me to have many thoughts of summer fun. I have been thinking about baseball games, beach time, warm weather, cook outs, and all the things to look forward to once winter is over.

This is in preparation for a much larger painting that I have planned. I have painted so many pinwheels in the past. Now I am working on some large ones in oil. I have always  loved them and they were one of  my trademarks when I did watercolor paintings. 

So Many Ways To Have Fun

This girl and her friends were having so much fun in the water with their boards, which were all yellow. I chose this girl as my painting subject because of her beautiful red hair and the turquoise color she was wearing which looked so good against the yellow.

There have been so many fantastic beach days this summer where the ocean temperature and the breezes were just perfect. This was one of those days and I spent lots of time in the waves myself.
