Moonlight

Everyone keeps stealing my beach scenes, so I'm starting one for me.

I hang these at the front of my classroom beside a photograph that has "Dream" worked into the seascape.  I keep painting beaches, moons, night...and people keep stealing them.  So I'll sneak this one in and hang it.  

You can see the tape at the horizon where I'm trying not to have a vague and shaky line. 

Great painting inspiration

I went on a trip, did a lot of sketching, took lots of water and sunrise photos. Ready to paint!

If regulations weren't so stringent on liquids in carryons, I would have found a way to take tubes of acrylics.

I am so very lousy at pastels.  But still, it was fun while relaxing.  Here were some of our views of the beach at Punta Cana:

The sea was an incredible pale aqua.  Had the surf not been so rough, I imagine the water would have been very clear.  One snorkeler told us visible was poor.  I imagine so!

 The sunrises were quite spectacular.  I thanked God for each day and breathed in all that beauty.
