For Shore


"The Shore #2" - 8" x 10"- oil
Two weeks ago we went to the beach for vacation. I haven't been to the beach in probably twenty years and I haven't had a real vacation in three years. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if this was a real vacation. Is it a vacation when you take work with you? Well, I took my french easel with me just in case I was inspired. Well it didn't take long before inspiration struck. Because it was technically vacation, I kept my painting time down to a couple of hours a day. The painting above was just one of the pieces that I was able to complete during the week.

Yes, well we are in Orlando and it is too damn hot to do anything outdoors until the evening. I thought we may trip to the Gulf Coast around Tampa and hang... Maybe take some photos to store away for later ideas!

Shore line painting is nice, but I agree with Dawn. Vacations are for chillin' out!

Thanks Dawn and Ben! Knowing me I'll never have a proper vacation. Does thinking, dreaming and talking about painting count as working?
