"Spectacular Celebration!" (Visions of Vacation series)

20"x24" Oil on Belgian Linen Panel

Something magical occurs in the sky's color when a storm cloud moves in during the time of the setting sun and I just happened to be in the right place at the right time to enjoy it!  This all happened when my family and I were gathering on the beach in anticipation of the Fourth of July Fireworks and celebrate our county's birthday.  The sky put on its own pre-show: a Spectacular Celebration!

"Discovering Together"

14"x11" Oil on Belgian Linen Panel

The sweetness that a mother's love conveys to her baby and the bond they share is so precious!  

Safe in her mother's arms, I wanted to portray the connection between baby and mommy as they discover the ocean's endless-ness together.
