"Blond"

12 x 3-5/8"
oil on masonite
sold

I'm back in the driver's seat - my Mac had to be rushed to the hospital and of course I am reminded of how vital this machine is to my existence. The good thing - I had no choice but to get caught up with long-neglected chores. And I've been helping out with plans for an upcoming 30th high school reunion. Yes, 30 years.

Since the summer is coming to an end, I squeezed in this new painting - a young lady enjoying a good book in the sunshine on the beach of Hilton Head Island.

    I don't know how you keep coming up with such good designs. I'm so envious.

    It's funny how connected we become to our computers. My computer at work has been out for 3 days and it's driving me crazy! Love this painting. I am always amazed at your brushstrokes. Up close they seem cluttered, but back up and they disappear into a perfect painting. I wish I could take classes from you. Keep painting!

    I like the way you work with light. The sand has a "glittering" quality - well done.

    Good luck with your computer. We had a Mac crash this summer, and it was stressful in the extreme. This is my first visit to your blog, and I am blown away by your painting!

    Hi Karin

    I love how you connect your people to their surroundings. Your colors work so well whether on the beach or at the farm of the Pennsylvania Dutch. Bravo
