breezy brushstrokes 

celebrating art of the seaside 

"Wisdom and Grace". EF Grace, acrylic on canvas board, 2016

I'm in love with the ocean! (Can you tell?)
How can I not be awed by its expanse and power, delighted by its dancing waves, or mesmerized by its ever-changing beauty?
Please enjoy these past favorite pieces from my collections as we take a trip to the seaside.

"Stronghold",
acrylic on canvas board, 2017
​
That someone you turn to-- you know-- the one who holds fast through the worst of waves.

"Wisdom and Grace",
acrylic on canvas board, 2016

Vast and valuable treasures won by weathering many storms at sea.

"By the Bay",
​acrylic on canvas, circa 2006

I always wondered what it was like to stay in those little houses by the shore.

"Island Gal",
​ acrylic on paper, 2013

Luscious waves and breezy bright fabrics are always in fashion.
​

​"Here I Am",
acrylic on canvas board, 2015

One seagull sat while another soared. One called out "here I am!"
I can still never tell who rescued who.

​

"Memory Lane",
​ chalk pastel on paper, 2017

Memory of walking toward a lovely little beach I visited with a dear soul. Every so often, we stroll back down memory lane until we reach that clearing ... and return to our respective coasts.

"Sail" and "Cove"
chalk pastel on paper, 2017
​
This little boat in the distance caught my eye while I lay in the sand. Soon I had a small audience looking over my shoulder while I scrambled to catch it on paper before it passed by.
​
As the day waned, the tide pooled into a little cove, again calling for my sketchpad.
