Original oil painting Breezy Sailing by Karen Tarlton

I've lived at the beach or near it many times in my life.

San Diego, Manhattan Beach, Fort Walton Beach, and probably

a couple other places I can't remember. 

But I do remember the feel of the cool breeze in my hair, the salty fresh smell from the pier

and the sailboats on the horizon.

New York Summer Night Inspiration

Oil

This one is shipping off to a gallery!

We just recently got back home to D.C. from our weekend in New York

and it was amazing!

The most emotional part for us was the trip to ground zero which is now one

of the great wonders of our world; the new One Trade Center building, Two waterfall memorials built in the footprints of the two buildings, and the museum.

There museum there is so impressive and awesome - so

inspirational, just like the people of New York.
