Autumn in the Marina

I love the shadows and warm colors of Fall.  It's definitely fall here.  The wind is blowing and the weather is turning.  I chose this painting as my entry into the Autumn challenge for Daily Paintworks.

Walking Santa Cruz Beach

6x8 acrylic on gessobord
$50

We spent a year sailing along the California coast and Mexico.  One of our very favorite stops was Santa Cruz, California.  The beach was covered in warm sand.  The ocean was teaming with sea life and the fun was non-stop.

Waikiki Boogie Boarders

6x8 acrylic on gessobord
$50

Waikiki Beach is always full of people enjoying the ocean. It was so fun to watch these girls playing with their boards.  It reminded me of my childhood.  My brother and I would spend endless hours in the waves at a variety of beaches around Hawaii.

Waikiki Beach Girls

$50

While hanging out on Waikiki Beach I had a great time people watching.  These three little girls were so adorable.  They were having the time of their lives playing in the ocean.  At this particular time they were making plans to jump the next wave that came in.

Last One to the Beach is a Rotten Egg

6x6 acrylic on gessobord
$50

Our girls were always so excited to get to the warm sand and start playing at Kailua Beach.  Of coarse, I'm the rotten egg here, but it was well worth it being able to capture our daughters' excitement!

Fido Friday 1

6x6 acrylic on panel
$50

I'm starting something that I've been wanting to do for a long time.  I will be donating 30% of each Fido Friday painting sold to our local dog shelter!  It amazes me how many dogs end up in local shelters.  There are so many sweet, smart, and amazing pups waiting for a loving home.  This little guy that I painted is from a litter of puppies we had a while back at Adopt-a-Pet.  He was adopted and is living the good life now.

Me and My Boogie Board

6x6 acrylic on gessobord
$50

Quite a few years back my whole family went to Kauai for a little vacation.  While there, we had the pleasure to bask in the sun and warm water of Hanalei Bay.  My nephew, Dylan, brought his boogie board along and found a load of entertainment with it, even though the ocean was as calm as a bathtub!

Wherever You Go, I Will Follow

$50

I used to love watching our girls play on shore.  Their imaginations would take them on the most wonderful adventures.  Luckily they were never alone;  Wherever they went, our dog Salty followed.
