The Beach.....

Tonight, in Anchorage Alaska, it's snowing.  It's so peaceful and beautiful....

..but....

I have the beach on my mind......I'll switch gears soon enough. 

I'm still enjoying the warm sunshine, crashing waves and ocean breeze in my head.

I had to try painting it.

Thank you for looking!

Blimp

"Blimp"

6" x 8"  oil

Sitting on the beach in California, I saw this big blimp cruising up and down the beach.

I knew I had to paint this!  Somehow blimps still make me think of the 1930's.

It would be great if this one was aluminum....but, the colors are beautiful too.

I'm home in Anchorage, Alaska....but warm & sunny California is still on my mind.

Thank you for looking! 

Las Laguna Gallery

My painting "Pretty in Pink" was juried into Las Laguna Gallery's "Women in Art" show.  These pictures are from last week's opening.

The show runs from November 7th until November 28th in Laguna Beach, California.

It's a great show with so many amazing artists....I felt very privileged to be a part of the show!

Check out Las Laguna Gallery....

and thank you for looking!

Pretty in Pink

"Pretty in Pink"

24" x 24"  oil

Pretty in Pink is going down to Laguna Beach soon.

She will be in an art show celebrating women in the arts

at Las Laguna Art Gallery.

I'm excited to be in a show in Southern California!

Warm sun......

Okay.....it felt great to focus on this painting today.

Have I told you I'm waiting for spring? 

Have I told you I live in Alaska?... it snowed again today! 

I'm wishing I was in the painting right now.

 I can smell the coconut oil.......and I feel the warm sand  

between my toes......

Out of breath, I'm laying on my grass mat...sun beating down on me.

My bathing suit is still wet from the body surfing I just got done with,

 and my skin is already warming up enough to jump back in.

................ahhhhhhhh............

Okay....that felt good......a mini vacation.

Thanks for looking!
