It's Friday (doesn't feel like it)

I took so many photographs that it has taken me two days to sort through them.

My husband took this pic because he said that was all he saw. He actually has a video and he's not wrong, if the camera wasn't on my face I was scouting out compositions. But I loved it. I took over 6000 photos (who could blame me? look at the view).

These mountains were breathtaking and the fresh air (cannot describe the air enough!)

Love the colours!

Wishing I was back there (but with hubbby, the kids and the dogs this time).


This was a pre-storm photo. The wind was hustling and the clouds (didn't come out as dark as it felt at the time) I wasn't sure that I was going to get to the beach on time before it poured. When we got there and rushed out of the car we realized that there were people already down there taking photos too. (I have lots of these stories. I always think I'm so creative only to find 50 others have the same idea.)

You can't even see the mountains on the other side (it's the American side across the water - Mount Olympus or Port Angeles. I'm not sure which because sadly, the weather never cleared).


Genoa Bay - this was another quick drive when the weather was quickly turning but I'm glad we went, I loved the misty mountaintops. Just wasn't thrilled with the rain on my camera (had to keep it under jacket and wiping it incessantly).

Driftwood everywhere and it makes great composition interest.



The only problem that I have now is which one do I paint first?

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened.  Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy   Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway.  Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger -  Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants
