I guess I am a typical artist.  By that, I mean unorganized!

I just found this little painting in the back of my inventory closet.  I must have painted it 6 or 7 years ago!

I always wondered why it didn't sell!

I sit here tonight (Sept 10) listening to the wind howl, the rain pounding, a huge tree down in our yard and another of about 19 tornado warnings on our weather radio going off.  Hurricane Irma has been beating us up all day, with the worse to come about 2:00 a.m.

Trying to do blog posts to distract from the fury outside.

On the bright side, for the time being, we still have power.  The lights flicker, but so far, they have come back on.  That's a biggy!  When we lose power in a hurricane, it usually takes close to a week to get it back.  A long hot, humid week!!

Thanks for reading my blog.

ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE, 8X6, OIL

A few weeks ago, I awoke early, grabbed a cup of coffee and my camera and headed off to my favorite park on the inter-coastal.  I was rewarded with a peaceful morning, arriving just as daylight was breaking.  A blue heron was perched on a piling, contemplating breakfast, with the sun backlighting the scene.  

How could I not paint it??  Well, I didn't even try to resist.  A month from now, it may be 95 degrees with 100% humidity and everyone who lives in the southeast may be wondering, why??  I will have this little reminder of why.  For someone else, it may be a snow shovel or bad back, but for me, this will do the trick.

HAVING A WONDERFUL TIME, WISH YOU WERE HERE, 8X6, OIL

The good life!  Don't ask me why, but living on the water seems like an extended vacation.  Not that I have ever lived on the water...close...once.....just across the street from the beach.  But, what did I know.  I was only 18 years old and assumed that I would always be on the beach.  Ha!  Thats when I didn't own a home, or pay insurance, or have kids.

So here I am, 10 miles from the ocean, not a sea gull in sight, and perfectly content.  But, I can still close my eyes and dream now and then.

BLUE HERON, 5X7, OIL, SOLD

I found this heron at the park one day and chased him down snapping photos like crazy. He kept stretching his neck out straight and I wanted a shot of him with his curved neck. As soon as he gave me what I wanted, I left him in peace.

Tomorrow is Thursday, the day I list one of my paintings at 1/2 price for 24 hours. Check it out tomorrow!
