Treasures of the Sea


Today in Connecticut I unwrapped some of
my favorite shells that I brought with me.
Just seeing them reminds me
of the beach...and when I draw and paint them
I can feel the time when I collected them
and smell the salt air.

I discovered some old treasures in my
Dad's basement, that you can see over here!

Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Lori ann and acornmoon,
    So happy you both stopped by the studio blog and appreciate your comments! I brought some of my heart rocks with me to Connecticut and think I will paint more of them...it's so nice to paint from life for a change.

  3. Beautiful, beautiful!!
    Sometimes when I look at a picture I've sewn, I can distinctly remember the music or book on tape I was listening to when I stitched it. A little like your association with the smell of salt air?
