This is the first draft of this beach and rocks setting.

 This is a painting without even getting out the palette.


 This one was painted plein air and has not been finished yet.

 I added some metallic paint to enhance the sand.

 I still have to say that I love the organic feeling that flows when I paint flowers.

 A little special touch to the mat.

 The next step to the rocks and waves.

 Two painting on view at a local restaurant.

I will get some mileage from this lighthouse.  Lots of paintings from this view.

Here is one I have done of the coconut trees that so enamored me on my last vacation.  I tried to capture the wind in the palm fronds.

My interpretation of the coconut tree photo.... one of many in a series.
