1276. Lady in Red

 

If this painting looks familiar, it's because I painted a smaller version (12 x 12") a couple of weeks ago and it sold right away.  I really loved the colors and wanted another go at sizing up, which is not as easy as one might think it would be.  I'm very happy with this one and hope it finds a home soon before I decide I want to keep it.

1275. Bean Point

 Bean Point is my very favorite spot on Anna Maria Island, Florida.  It is the point where the Gulf of America meets Tampa Bay.  It's very quiet and the terrain and water changes every time you visit.  Some days there are massive amounts of shells and others, just a few.  It definitely is one of my happy places.  

This is the last of my mini series painted on Anna Maria Island.

1274. Sea Shells

 

Collecting sea shells at the beach is one of my favorite activities.  I find the sounds of the water, birds and families very soothing.

1272. Sand Between My Toes

 

I am on vacation at a beach community.  I am happiest when near a beach and all it entails.  This mini series focuses on my happiness with these bright, happy colors.  Here's a preview of all the paintings in this series.

1271. Wishing Tree

 

We are vacationing on Anna Maria Island where the island is in various stages of recovery from the two recent hurricanes.  It is really remarkable that so much progress has been made to recover.  

My favorite place on the island is Bean Point, which is where the Gulf of Mexico meets Tampa Bay.  It's a quieter section of beach and I like that.  Prior to the hurricane, my favorite little vignette included a couple of tall trees and some other smaller trees jetting out among rocks and shells.  The two major trees were uprooted in the hurricane and there was a plan to remove them, but people rejected that idea, and now we have Wishing Trees all over the island.  People have placed shells all over the roots and I love it.  I'm also excited that these large rocks entangled in the tree's roots showed up in the form of a heart.

1270. Tulips in a Blue Vase

 Did you know that tulips actually grow after they are cut and put in water? You really notice it when tulips are included in a florist's arrangement of mixed flowers.  The tulips reach for the light and in a couple of days will tower above the other flowers.  

I scored big at a friend's garage sale where she was selling this vase for sale for $1.  It is a perfect vase for tulips as the top allows them to droop over the side, which I love.  It's my favorite.
