Blue Water Gem, new boat painting

Pin It
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!
Also... I have a very short video on my progress during this painting.

It’s spring in the lowcountry and the morning light is luminous! 
This is a small wooden boat I saw recently and it just captured me.
I painted it at anchor on a spring morning with the beautiful light.

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

This little gull is just having a wonderful lunch 
at the oyster bar!
Lunch special today is oysters, minnows and just about any type of great fresh seafood.
