Plans Change











They say make plans and listen for God to chuckle, because he has better plans for you. We have a unexpected family event towards the end of October, so I will set a new goal for myself of November 1,2009 to have my Etsy store open. In the meantime, here's a peak at what I plan (see above :) ) to be selling.

Halifax Island Florida


Success, sometimes as an artist you struggle to get what you see in your mind on the canvas, but I love how these 3 paintings came out. They flow together and the color makes me so happy. This the 1st time I have used watercolor canvas as usual I ignored instructions and treated it like paper. Watercolor canvas really does need to be stretched, but the surface is wonderful to work on in that you can pick up any watercolor paint and even ink if you are quick enough.

islands & vaca yahoo!


Finally, decided to put some paint on an Maine island sketch. This small island next to Crow is painted in watercolor with a limited palette.


I am looking forward to more island sketching on our Florida vacation next week. Hopefully, some new sandbar islands to paint when i return.
