Sittin’ In the Surf

Spotted these ladies hanging out in the surf on a beach in the U.S. Virgin Islands, the location for this month’s virtual paintout. I was shocked just now to see it has been three months since I last posted here! No excuses, just enjoying summer.

A quick watercolor study from a photo on Sktchy. Dramatic lighting is always a draw for me, no pun intended.

Back from the Brink

In a previous post, I wondered aloud about what the new year would bring. So far, it has brought the Flu and before I had fully recovered from it, a heart attack. What?!! I have a history of heart problems leading back to childhood so I shouldn’t be so surprised, but damn! Anyway, I’m doing well now (knock wood), and was ecstatic to feel my dormant desire to make art begin to stir again recently. I let things happen on the paper that I would normally try harder to control and that in itself feels like a gift. It’s so great to be back.
