Sunny

The sunshine is sure welcome here in Southern Illinois today.  The cold and snow and gray has been making it difficult for me to continue to pretend that I live on the gulf coast of Florida!  But I'm back there today with the sunshine!  Once again I went to the photos that I took at the sailboat marina near my home here in Southern Illinois and once again, I found the perfect model.  He stands alone without frills or props, rather handsome I would say.  He just didn't need anything.  I hope you enjoy him!

Day 27 of 30 in 30 days "Nodding Off"

This is day 27 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge through January.  Today, "Nodding Off".    I painted this little guy from a photo that I took at the sailboat marina near my home in Southern Illinos.  Of course there wasn't really a turquoise sky or water, but I like turquoise.   And I like to paint birds soft and sweet.  I like this little guy, hope you do too!

Day 25 of 30 in 30 days "Seagulls again"

Okay!  Day 25 of 30 paintings in 30 days.  "Seagulls again" today.  I like to paint seagulls.  Seagulls and the ocean just go hand in hand to me.  Even though I took this photo at the sailboat marina near my home in Southern Illinois, the seagulls took me a little closer to the ocean than Rend Lake!
