Reference was a photo by Vineyard Colors.

This is a finger painting. I used a liner brush for the horizon and that's it. Everything else was done by hand. Very calming to paint! Which is just what I needed!

Another Vineyard Colors reference on this one. They have so many to choose from! My intent with this painting was to apply the impressionism that I've played with while copying Monets to a real photograph, since I am somewhat limited on coastal views from my house. =/

I did this in one sitting while my kids watched a movie as I am still in much need of a nap every day. I think we will go enjoy some lunch and then I'm going to crash!

This is the first painting I have done in over a month. I have been feeling a bit under the weather due to the laborious conditions of the first trimester for baby #5 and found that my normal painting time was turned into much needed napping time.

I feel well in the mornings, so while my children ran amuck, I snuck into my studio and turned this out for you to enjoy. I'm sticking to subjects that are effortless and you will probably see many seascapes over the next few months while I use my painting as a means to relax, rather than challenge myself.

My reference is through photography from Vineyard Colors. They allow artists to use their work, which is delightful! They have many beautiful pictures to choose from. You will not be disappointed and I highly recommend them to you! They also have calendars for sale with their beautiful pictures featured. www.facebook.com/VineyardColors/
