After a great trip North to South Carolina, DC and Boston, we made it back to the Sunshine State!  Everyone thinks it hot here, well it's hotter in SC and  DC.  Plus they don't have that wonderful ocean breeze. We had many adventures, plus a few internet problems.... I forgot how slow slow can be! Our Summer Series is on Week 5 with the Octopus....you can see the video on  my youtube channel. We will finish the series next week with the Seahorse.  I hope you've enjoyed the projects. I plan on incorporating the new colors; Lemon Yellow or Permanent Yellow,  Cadmium Red, Permanent Rose or Quinacridone Red, Cobalt Violet,  Manganese Blue or Cerulean Blue. I finally decided after 30 years of the normal palette (Burnt Sienna, Gamboge, Hooker's Green Dark, Ultramarine Blue, Indigo, Alizarin Crimson and White Gouache) it was time for a CHANGE! Happy Painting!

Sunday Morning coming down!  Words from one of my favorite Kris Kristofferson Songs! We were out just a little late last night. When I got up at 3:45 am to take Kim & Jerry to the airport, this was the song in my head! We should have stayed up! We made a family concert last night to see John Melloncamp at Ruth Echard Hall.  He's been my daughters favorite artist since she was 14.  WOW how time files.  Me & My shadow will be this weeks Wednesday morning  watercolor project at the Indian Rocks Beach Art Center.  She also is the next project May 14th at Gulf Beaches Public Library, Maderia  Beach. As most of you know I've been painting miniatures again.....about 15 in total since our trip to Cuba. I will start posting the ones I have left, a few went to South Carolina with my daughter....she says she is an only child she gets first pick!

Indian Rocks Beach 4" x 4" Good Morning! It's been a very busy time, we took a cruise to Cuba.  Grand kids visited, and teaching at the Beach Art Center and Maderia Beach Library.  It was a great mini vacation, but I was so disappointed in Havana.  It's a very poor country, not as colorful as I imagined.  The city is crumbling!  The cars were beautiful, enjoyed seeing Hemingway's Home. While we were at sea, I decided to paint miniatures!  I belonged to the miniature society of Florida about 15 years ago.  I studied with Jeanne Dunn, a true miniaturist!  I forgot how much fun it is to translate the shapes, values and design to a very small space.
