Beach Follies and what I did on my first ever weeklong vacation!

Beach Follies (the painting) first- It is a favorite painting and I just love when I can nail those abstractions. It’s hard to go for it with bravura brushwork and then not touch it again! It’s so much about what you are trying to say with your vision for the painting and what information you need in it. Something about cloudscapes and beaches just bring me such peace. They also make me happy…Hope they do you too!

Somehow with work and responsibilities we were just never able to get away for more than a handful of days at a time so this was extremely special for us. It was also a much needed break from being Primary Caretakers for both of our Moms. We were so happy that it all worked out for us to be together at our favorite place where our kids grew up hitting the beach. We had lots of fun family time and treasured seeing so many of our only grandchild’s “firsts” every day. He is an amazing baby and also my studio assistant or so I like to claim:) Just thought I would share a few photos from our time together…Family, Faith, Trust, Joy, Peace and Grace…Blessings Too Y’all!
