Wave Dodgers

"Wave Dodgers"

Watching the kids play on the beach the other day reminded me of the wonderful feeling I got as a kid running and dodging the waves.  Sometimes I could run away faster than the water could catch me, but it's fun to get caught ; D  I love seeing the kids on the beach having a blast, with nothing but a bathing suit!

Girlfriends

I am looking forward to the paintings that are going to come out of my day at Asilomar state beach.  These little girls were so absorbed in what they were making with the wet sand.  Everyone comes alive at this beach, it's very sparkly and beautiful!

Asilomar Rocks

Yes it does, I visited this pristine beach for the first time this past Valentine's day weekend.  I had a glorious picnic with Mike, my husband..best man in the world!  I then filled an empty camera card with photos.  This is the first painting to come out.  I am sure there will be many more, it was a glorious day.

Lucy, Doing What She Does Best

"Lucy, Doing What She Does Best"

I find sometimes I don't have to go far to look for a subject.  Lucy my pug is always a willing model.  She loves to nap, and snore.  Anywhere there is a soft landing she will snuggle and make herself cozy.   This dog is asleep in a nano second,  I wish I could fall asleep that fast!

Say the word Love!

"Say the word LOVE..."

Yup, this month is the shortest month of the year, but it sure packs a wallop!  The love month, Valentine's day, it is my favorite holiday, celebrating love, it just doesn't get better than that!

Always Say Yes 2 Love

"Always Say Yes 2 Love"

This is my favorite holiday next to Thanksgiving.  Both of them involve eating a lot of things that you wouldn't get to eat every day.  Besides, what's wrong with love, everything is right with love, just sayin'!

Dutch Iris

Another still life courtesy of the grocery store floral department!  This time of year all of these little pre-Spring bouquets start popping up in the floral bins.  I'd say we are pretty spoiled rotten this side of the country, it's a sparkly, sunny day...a little crisp for us.  Eastern folks would probably call us whimps and yes we are, warm whimps!
