Coming Down...

 I haven't gone anywhere lately 

at least not anywhere with a good view

so I decided to paint

a couple postcards

to make me feel like I'd been away.

I love this paper and when I found a block of postcards,

I was thrilled.

Ready for a note and address, too!

Playing in the sky...

Light Sky

a fictional place 

with pink clouds

just as the sun sets

Photoshop? In a way...

Crescent City, CA

Years ago, we took a little trip 

down the Oregon coast

stopping to see lighthouses

beaches and boats.

I had my very first digital camera;

the rest of the universe 

was still using film.

It was 2.1 mp and had a couple features,

optical zoom wasn't one of them.

I was plodding around my many photo folders

and ran across one grey and blurry shot.

It was the last stop at the coast and I was disappointed 

that the tide wasn't out

and I couldn't walk out to the lighthouse for a better picture.

So, I ditched the rain and fog and here it is.

Can it be that cold?

 Christmas Light

...a little breeze off the water 

BAM!

I'm an icicle.

Those floating chunks aren't melting

that's all

just a little bit 

this week

Magnetic!

New use for old dominoes?

Had a fun time making these little magnets...yes, they are watercolor!

I sanded the dominoes (reverse side) and put on a couple layers of Daniel Smith watercolor ground.

Then I sanded the ground a little too.  I like a bit of texture.

Painted these little pieces with my watercolors and sprayed them with Kamar Varnish, added a magnet (over the dots) and Voila! 

Magnetic watercolors.

Ready or Not...

I confess, I was watching football. Strange things happen when I do that while I paint.
Thinking of the Great Lakes and all the lighthouses on those shores and there I was, throwing snow around! (on paper, anyway)

Ready or Not...

Boat Trip!

You can't get everywhere by car!  Whenever it heats up, I remember a trip to the Bahamas.  Pick an island that's not heavily populated  for a real escape. No phone, television, or computer just snorkel and swim or maybe dive. Beautiful sights above and below the water and a very laid back existence.

Busy in Town
It's the start of the "season"! Whether you're a tourist or townie your plate is full.

It's my favorite...a night light :D

Lighthouse Sunset
Something that always catches my eye, a lighthouse.

Put it on a cliff and it's even better.

Why not add a sunset just for fun?

It was definitely fun painting this today.
