Sandy Beach


5 feet wide by 4 feet tall

Cold wax and oil on cradled hardboard

From start to finish my paintings average 6 months on my easel.  There are many layers to build the colors into the finished surface and complete the sides.  It was cold dark and snowy when thoughts of summer shimmered in my mind. 

That sandy beach has real sand added to the painting, how cool is that!

Virginia Blue Ridge Parkway



Deck and I are on our 8th day traveling in our RV.  Were on our way back to Michigan after visiting his parents in FL (80th birthday party) and hanging out in Savannah, GA.  Well had to see the Mercer House from the book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, also a movie.

Tomorrow is a drive up to Lover's Leap in our Jeep.  This is not a road for an RV.  We did this drive a couple of years ago, it was soooo foggy, very nerve wracking-nail biting-foot braking (me) you get the idea, hopefully tomorrow we will get to see the sights.
