In a calm moment before a storm broke out on Siesta Key Beach, I look up and down the coastline and spot a lone woman walking slowly beside the waves.  Her dress catches my eye immediately.  The bright red in direct contrast to the darkening surroundings.  She carries her matching shoes in one hand.  She appeared completely unconcerned by the ominous clouds forming overhead.  What was she thinking about?  A lost lover…..her career choices….the baby she gave up for adoption….her next novel….I will never know, but I find this image incredibly seductive with so many possibilities…..

I recently licensed my colorful grouper fish art to a Floridian to wrap their boat!  How cool is that?  There is no end to the creative ways that my art can be licensed and enjoyed. 🙂

No I didn’t win the big Powerball this weekend, but I do feel like I’ve won the lottery every single time I get to walk along the beaches of Venice, FL.  We’ve worked hard for over 15 years to afford a place by the ocean.  Right now it is a weekend/holiday/vacation getaway and we spend as much time as possible there. Someday it will be my only home.  For now I soak up the sunshine and my winnings…

Down by the sea…My art is inspired by the brightly colored shells and seaweed that wash up on the shores of Caspersen Beach in Venice, Florida.  The smell of brine and fish is a sweet perfume for my soul.  I am renewed with the feel of sand between my toes and the sound of waves calling to my heart…

The beach has been heavenly in Florida for the past few weeks.  The weather has been perfect…slightly cool and sunny.  I’ve spent many hours walking up and down Caspersen in Venice, FL.  It is always intriguing how certain things wash up in clusters that do not wash up at other times at all.  Somedays it is starfish.  Others it might be crab bits.  Or these beautiful iridescent fan clams that form hearts when open.

Scientifically they are called Pinnidae and are a taxonomic family of large saltwater clams sometimes known as pen shells. They are marine bivalve molluscs in the order Pterioida.

I just think they are “love”ly…

Here is my haul of fossils that I’ve collected walking up and down the beach for the past 4 months!  I also have a glass jar that holds about 3000 shark’s teeth!  Below you will find:  prehistoric shark’s vertebrae, a camel ankle bone, whale ear bone, turtle shell fossils, three toed horse teeth, shark’s teeth of many kinds, puffer fish mouth plates, stingray barbs, shells and misc. bones.  I find these glimpses into the past absolutely fascinating!

A few years ago I had a collector ask me to make a painting for him including some of his fossilized dinosaur bones.  It’s got me thinking about what to do with mine…

It’s beach weather again.  In Florida we really do not get definitive season changes, except in the Spring.  Fall comes and goes without any fanfare.  Winter just brings some cooler days.   Summer is just hot.  But sometime in March everything comes alive with color!  The oaks are almost fluorescent green! Bougainvilleas and azaleas burst in dots and cascades in shades of fuchsia in every yard.  And by the ocean….the sweet beautiful sea….The sea grape leaves turn many shades of red, orange and yellow.  It’s a happy time for this color junkie. 🙂
