The play of light and reflections on water is always a fascination.

Capturing it plus the movement in the water was quite a challenge.

I'm happy with the result  . . .  and the painting is sold to a good 

home.

Spring brought  some foggy and frosty early mornings.

Which is what inspired the picture below.

It has been a busy summer, alas it's over now and already I miss it.  

 Now I really must do some new posting!   

Will get at it ASAP!

Opps I just about forgot about this one!

This is painting is of a Hawaiian Monk seal, that we were sooo lucky to have greet us on our first morning while visiting Maui this winter.  (sooo lucky because this is an endangered species)

He/she just took advantage of the surf and rode it right up onto the beach and then settled down for a nice nap in the sun.

Painting the surf was quite a challenge but fun! 

 And it gives the picture life!

Sure sign of spring, crocuses and bees!

I took a few pictures of my crocuses (ok this was a couple of months ago) and the bees were buzzing about,  so I was trying to get a shot of the bees on the flowers, usually to no avail, the bee would be gone by the time the camera clicked or so I thought. 

Then when I put the pictures on the computer and this one popped up,  . .  very lucky shot! Just had to paint it!

. . . and here are a few new things!

Both of the following pictures were inspired by photos shared with me,  once I saw the photos,  I knew I had to paint them!  Once I started I was possessed and I'm pleased with my accomplishment!

I hope you will like them too!
