              I’ve been going through my studio continuing to excavate paintings some of which I’m putting out of their misery and filing in the trash bin, some I’m working on if they seem to have a good composition, and a very few I decided that I liked as they are. Finding this one was a nice surprise since I love sunflowers; they’ve always seemed like such a great symbol of summer!

            Happy Weekend!

            I love to climb high and have since I was little. I also get a little dizzy looking down but can’t resist doing this when I’m climbing near the water. I find it scary but usually worth the risk since the view is often beautiful like in this scene. I love the many colors I could see in the water and the mix of big, almost violent waves with areas of calm water.

            Happy Weekend!

Most of the time when you blow things out of proportion, that’s a bad thing but sometimes I like to blow up a photo I’ve taken to see if there’s something beautiful hidden in the depths. I photographed my shells sitting on my windowsill, glowing in the morning light but the photos showed too many colors and shapes to make a good composition. Blowing up the photos and searching in the depths, showed this beautiful shell with other, smaller shells hiding inside.

Happy Weekend!

            I’m always fascinated by the many ways people respond to being at the beach. Some seem to enjoy a quiet, meditative walk, while others like company and enjoy a lively discussion with a companion. Others find it the perfect opportunity to give their dog some exercise chasing waves with them as this little girl seemed to enjoy. And still others find it (apparently) a time when they need to consult their social media feed while a wave gathers slowly to engulf them. (cue eye roll).

            Happy Weekend!
