Where Sea Meets Sky

 Where Sea Meets Sky

Summer beach time brings soothing, sometimes exciting, magical moments.  Especially when a few (non-threatening) clouds appear to catch that Golden Hour of sun as it kisses the horizon.

New Tide

 New Tide

The tide goes out.  The tide comes in.  And so it goes.

I adore the beach.  I was lucky enough to spend a few days there this month and they were spectacular days.

Destin Sunset -- SOLD

Florida's Emerald Coast

The name does have a lovely ring, doesn't it?

I guess I am dreaming of the beach.  I haven't made it there yet this year.  Too many busy projects to take time to relax.  Soon, I hope.

Can't Get Enough Candy Crush -- SOLD

"Can't Get Enough Candy Crush"

Everyone enjoys the dock in their own way.  We've seen it.  Some of us have even done it.  Checking the cell when we should be living in the moment.

I hope you find a peaceful (gadget-free may be too much to ask) moment today.

No. 2 Sunrise Virginia Beach

 No. 2 Sunrise Virginia Beach

No, you're not seeing double.  I liked this sunrise so much I wanted to paint it again.  A few changes in this one from the first.  Both have admirable qualities and I truly do like them both.

Sunrise Virginia Beach

Sunrise Virginia Beach

If I can wake up early enough, I often find some really brilliant sunrises.  This painting is from a photo I took in Virginia Beach, VA last summer.

Anchored In for the Night

Anchored In for the Night

I am very lucky to live near such a beautiful spot.  Sullivan's Cove in Olde Severna Park, MD.  This painting is from photos I took yesterday.  I'd like to do some plein air painting here but I'm a tiny bit apprehensive.  It is a very busy spot -- lots of families and dogs running about.  I know that is part of the package of plein air: dealing with onlookers but I'm still a little shy about my painting and would prefer some more private experience before I dive into more public display.
