"My Secret Cove - Distant view of Fort Johnson"

"My Secret Cove - View of Distant Fort Johnson" Oil on ArtBoard 11"x16" SOLD
"Heaven!" The hot sun, the cool ocean breeze, the children playing in the surf as their father cast for fish. . . what could be a more perfect day? . . . Painting it!!
I was so blessed by two little sisters who were having the time of their lives playing in the sand and sea. They would occassionally come over to where I was painting to ask me a question or two and then skip back off to their play spot. As their time on the beach came to an end, they both stopped by to offer me a hug good-bye and a beautiful flower that I wore behind my ear. I've just "painted" for you MY ideal day! "Heaven!"















SOLD "Stella Maris Church" 12"x9" Oil on GessoBoard $200.

Wow, it was a hot one today - but any day painting makes for a very happy day for me.
The original canvas was photographed at a slight angle making this image seem slanted. I will have to re-photograph this to capture a truer image.
