Blue Water Gem

24, x 18

oil on gallery wrap canvas

We found this little white wooden fishing boat on one of our trips

to St Maarten Island. The blue water reflected the colors of the boat 

beautifully and the water was so clear that the boat also had shadows in the shallow water.

I loved the red wood trim and interior of the boat. I think that's what drew me to it!

Had to paint it!

Happy Hour and Giving Thanks

Happy Hour

Pelicans sitting on the swim platform 

of a boat waiting for the fishermen to

throw them a bite from the day's catch.

At the end of a fishing trip offshore with my husband and friends,

we returned to the dock at Shem Creek where the restaurants offer

a happy hour for the clientele after a day's work or fishing,

the pelicans also gathered for their day's end treat!

I would like to wish you all a very
Happy Thanksgiving
May you be with family, friends
or even someplace special by yourself,
this is a time to reflect and give thanks.
I have many things to be grateful for.... my family FIRST
....my ART and the pleasure it gives me and to my collectors
.... and for the many times ahead of us.
Like the pelicans waiting on the platform above,
may your days be filled with the things that give you pleasure
and may you be ready to catch the next thing thrown your way!
Happy Thanksgiving

Fishing!

Well, Bruce and the boys (our son Bryan and our friend Ridge) were here last week doing the "boy trip thing", fishing. They tried every day! And some days, all day! No fish to speak of, a couple of acceptable small ones, which were enough for two of us and we did eat them later. Yummy! But while the boys were out fishing, I decided to get some painting done and started an abstract with acrylics. When I put the last strokes of accent colors on, it made me think of a fish flashing through the water. So, in honor of my boys fishing trip, I titled it Fishing! This painting is on display at Studio 151 Fine Art Gallery in Charleston, SC.
