"From Sullivan's Station 18"

9"x12" Oil on Linen Panel

Today's painting!  It was another glorious day in paradise.  My 5-year old son accompanied me as I painted; he played in the surf and communed with all the dogs that walked by. . . we had a blast!

I literally bungee-corded my easel to the station 18 post to keep my set-up from blowing away!!  HA!
