Walk this way-sold


Oil on canvas, 9" x 12"
I was pretty sick earlier this week and have spent a lot more time sleeping and watching TV than normal. (98.6, it's good to have you back again.) This painting is from last week; I started it on the beach and finished it from a photo at home. I have to learn to paint faster!

Beach roses


Oil on panel, 8" x 10"
Ann and I went to Jamestown again this past Tuesday, this time to Fort Getty, which is more of a campground than a park. The gentleman at the guard house didn't charge us when we told him we just wanted to paint and would only be there a couple of hours. The beach roses on the dunes are in full bloom, it was quite lovely, even though it did rain a bit while I was painting this, and several busloads of schoolkids were there doing science lessons on the beach.
