I’ve had a lot more time to get outdoors here in sunny Florida lately.  We love to kayak down the Myakka River and saw this amazing creature recently…Gators tend to stay far away from humans, so we never feel scared.  But I do appreciate a zoom lens!  Go gators!

What Was She Thinking?

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. 🙂

The Winning Powerball Ticket…

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…

GREEN With Envy…

Green is one of my favorite colors (aren’t they all…)!  There is something about the way the sun illuminates leaves, spears and fronds.  It’s a tropical delight here in coastal Florida.  The plants are so lush this time of year.  The succulent agave stand tall and proud.  I wish I could adequately capture Mother Nature’s pallet with my paintbrush.  This is a photograph taken exactly as this agave appeared in the bright sunlight….

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…
