Fetching Friends

Dogs and water, what could be better?  I really enjoyed painting this one.  It just came along so smoothly.  Don't you just love days like that, when everything kind of flows easily?  I was really in need of a good painting day.  I've been struggling with motivation lately.  My hubby thinks it's because we haven't had our usual summer "exhale", where we go out on our boat to the islands for weeks at a time.  I know, poor me! Yes, I'm spoiled ;) I used a photo from Pixabay to paint these pups.  Thank you Pixabay photographers!

Pearl At Rest

Our beautiful sailboat, Pearl, at anchor in the south Puget Sound.  We've had an incredibly busy summer and haven't had a chance to spend a lot of time on her.  I treasure my summer cruising time, so it's been a bit frustrating.  If you look closely you'll see a couple of curious souls peering over the bow.  The dogs love their "Pearl" time as much as we do!

Oh how I love summer!  The bright sun and warm evenings...I wish it never ended!  I used a photo from the royalty free photo sharing site, Unsplash for this painting.  I hope this brightens your day!!
