One of our daughters is home for a week!

So I'm over the moon with joy and here is my inspiration.

I hope she inspires someone else the way my 

lovely girl inspires me.

With just her smile!

Today I wanted to paint boats again because they relax me,

comfort me and give me peace of mind (as long as I'm not actually on one but painting it)

but these I painted last week and they are now dry and listed!

Today I worked on some bees which will list next week and a very large commission

for a collector.

will post progression photos soon!

“The sea is your reflection; you are looking at your soul.” ~ Charles Bandelaire

Moving to the Southern California next week! Yay. It's only a 4 hour drive from Vegas so not too tough of a move, but quite a change of scenery. 

Boats and beaches are on my mind! More to come soon!
This new original oil is one of my favorites and has thick chunky impasto paint and pops with bold color! Palette knife painting directly on the canvas in vivid oils! Colorful and modern , these docked boats in brilliant light, have expressive palette knife work and impressionistic drama and texture.
