Sweet Memories

What a treat it was to travel to the Plein Air South artists' convention recently with a talented group of plein air painters. We received inspiration and instruction from 20 invited artist/instructors and from each other.  We were offered demos both inside and outdoors in this beautiful setting of Florida's Forgotten Coast.  Even after surviving the destruction of Hurricaine Michael this past year, the community welcomed us with open arms.

Sweet Memories is my painting of a beach home in Mexico Beach in her former glory.  She hosted many fun family times and celebrations.  While the home was damaged, the memories last forever!

Honey

Meet Honey Bunny.  She is ready to help decorate the nursery for sweet baby girl due to arrive this fall.

Fishing in the Surf

Egrets are tall long-legged birds with long S curved necks and long bills.  They hunt in classic heron fashion, standing immobile or wading to capture fish with a deadly jab.  I loved the silhouette of this one against the beautiful blues and greens of the ocean.

Aspens

Beautiful fall colors surround us this time of the year.  They are just a reminder of  the many blessings of living in our bountiful nation.  I am thankful for so many blessings...my family, my home, safety, and a loving God who provides all things.  I want to especially thank you, my viewers, who support and encourage my art.  Happy Thanksgiving!

This painting will be featured in the Small Works Show opening Thursday night, Dec. 3 at Stonehenge Gallery in Montgomery.  I hope you can stop by before Christmas to see work from a collection of very talented artists.

Artwork for Christmas

I enjoy watching the birds from my front porch coming to our feeders and suet.  Cardinals are some of my favorites.
