A Must Share!

Something about my little beach drawrings made me think of Maurice Prendergast, an artist I've admired for years.  This was only after the fact, not something I was aware of while drawing at the beach.  But it made me google him and read more about him as an artist when I found THIS! You simply … Continue reading A Must Share!

Final Day

 Wishing I could fly my kite all the way home from the beach, I'm enjoying the last full day here. There are so many drawings I've not been able to share with you...perhaps I can create some sort of video montage for you when I get back home. But not before I fly a kite … Continue reading Final Day

Searching & Finding

Day 1 at the beach: In less than half an hour of being out on the shore, I chance to look down and see a sea stone...beautifully rounded and smoothed by sand and water. This sets me on a course to find and collect more sea stones and sea glass thru the week.Day 2: Bent … Continue reading Searching & Finding

On Parade

I was in my morning walk "zone", lost in thought, when I became aware that I was being watched. Looking up from sand and shells, I saw seagulls, hundreds of them, lining the beach where waves meet the sand, all of them standing looking my direction. It was as if they had tweeted each other … Continue reading On Parade

A Day at the Beach…

"A day at the beach is like silk in your hands..." I dunno. Even though there's sand and salty water, it's just how it feels to me...silky, blythe days unfurling in color and doodles.P.S. I'm using my ipad for blogging, including taking the pictures. The color is not nearly so vibrant as the actual page … Continue reading A Day at the Beach…

Splurging at the Factory

Friday mornings at the Factory here in Kernersville is one of the highlights of my week.  There may be only one other than myself, or there might be four of us, but we have such fun drawing and talking together.  I'm incredibly behind in showing you the drawings from these sessions, but here's one with … Continue reading Splurging at the Factory

The Beauty of Line & Watercolor

A couple of days ago, Maddie and I sat out in our backyard, in the cool morning, to draw.  I had several sketchbooks (as I do when using watercolor, so that I can move on to another drawing while one is drying), pens, watercolors; and she had her big sketchbook, pencil, and markers.  When she … Continue reading The Beauty of Line & Watercolor

Super Dads

Happy Father's Day to a couple of terrific dads in my life...my own dear father (above)... ...and  my wonderful husband.  Unfortunately, I have no drawing or painting of my father-in-law, another awesome dad.  I need to do something about that!
