Yellow Fin

Started the second fish of my trio for a friend. Got the yellow and some green on today before I had to leave the shop. I'm really getting into these fish! In case you have not noticed, I really like to put my subjects in motion rather than portrait style. Something in motion is more interesting to look at. You can picture where it's going next.

A new series

This is the first in a series I'm doing for a great friend of mine. It is still in progress! Critiques....

Members!!

I was so excited to see that I have 3 members since my last post!  I want to extend a warm, "Thanks" to those interested in my art and in what I have to say and share.  Currently I am preparing my supplies to start a mural.  I am doing it for the Isle Mail-n-More, where I have sold some of my pieces.  For the mural I will be doing a landscape with the ocean in the background with the foreground consisting of a boardwalk to the beach over some dunes and an old weathered mailbox on a  driftwood post.  Im excited to see how it turns out and really more curious to see how long it will take me to complete.

Again, a big thank you to my followers and members.  Let me hear from you all now and then!

Up and Running

Good grief!  What a busy week I have had since my last post.  I have my studio put together, and have shipped out my first two pieces from it now!  Im catching up on orders over the next few days, and then you can start to expect to see some new pieces coming out.  Im excited to get to paint what has been in my head for a while now.  What would you like to see as the subject matter? Sea Turtle, Sea Horse or a Tarpon?  Im leaning towards Tarpon as it is a popular fish for sport anglers!  Would love some feedback!

Excited!!!

I rented out my new studio space yesterday. I have been so excited I cannot sleep. I have been a stay at home mom for 6 years and now having something to do, outside the home has me floored! I move into my new studio tomorrow and Monday, then I hit it hard with three orders to finish in 2 weeks! After these orders are out, I get to start on my Costal Bend series. Any suggestions what to paint first? Sea Turtle, Sea Horse, Snook, Sheep Head, Gull or marsh birds?

A Good Day

I heard my daughter's door open this morning and I was up to head out for a walk.  I went to see if she would join me.  She was back in bed, and sitting there and said to me in her sweet matter-of-fact voice, "It's a good day".  I agreed with her and hugged her.  She was hot and for sure has a fever, but the lesson I learned from that very moment was that no matter how I feel, or what the day may hold, I have the opportunity to still create for me and my family a Good Day!

Thanks for taking the time to read my post!  Have a GOOD DAY!
