Day #7, January 2015 - 30/30 Challenge, Drying the Nets, 6x8

My husband and I spent many winters in Florida.  For eight years we rented a beach house from a friend and this painting by an unknown artist hung in the living room.  I always enjoyed looking at it. Since it is cold and dreary outside today, painting my interpretation of this painting brings back fond memories of warm winter days and sunny walks on the beach.

Day #2, January 2015 - 30/30 Challenge, Peaceful Harbor, 5x7

There are days on the coast when the air is so clear that you can see forever. Days when the air is so still that the water looks like glass. Days when it is so quiet that you hear nothing except an occasional sea gull's laughing call.

Painted from a photo from one of our day trips to Stonington, Maine.
