We took a mini vacation to the Southern Oregon and Northern California coasts. I was captivated watching my granddaughter, Sara, gaze at the ocean and birds while we enjoyed the beach in Crescent City, California. I could feel her sense of wonder, just like mine, in the presence of this magnificent natural wonder. Fun fact; This is my first painting with a full person in it.
In May, we took a quick trip to Sisters, Oregon, with our newest family member, Trex, the conversion van. While sitting at our campsite, I decided to bring out my paints and create. This is my interpretation of the bridge over the small creek at our camp. I find depicting water quite challenging, but I was pleased with how it turned out. I couldn’t resist including our new cargo van conversion in the painting as well. Additionally, I posted a couple of photos of camp and our van.
The McKenzie River in Oregon is truly stunning. This is my attempt to capture some of its beauty. I took this photo at Belknap Hot Springs, where the McKenzie River flows right next to the campground and hot springs. We recently bought a Ford Transit Van for our travels and camping adventures. Below, you can see our van superimposed onto my painting. Many exciting trips await us!
Good Afternoon everyone. I’m excited to show my newest complete piece. It is Kayak Girl. She was quite a challene as she kept looking like she was laying in the Kayak. In the end, I was able to figure it out. When I look at her I long for the summer when we can kayak again. It is one of my most relaxing activities. Wishing everyone a relaxing Tuesday.
It has been awhile since I was in the studio. I’m hoping to get back there this coming week. I need to create everyday. It’s just somedays the body pain from the Fibromyalgia is just too overwhelming. Here is what I’m currently working on. Not the best photo, but you get the idea. I’m excited to get it finished. 🙂
