In the wake of hearing about so much hate this week, I needed to make something about love.  

This sea urchin shell that I found in Canada in August actually did have a heart shaped hole in it. I did not keep it, but I did take a picture of it on a large rock near the place I found it on the shore of the St. Lawrence River in Quebec.

I think this just inspired a new series. So, I'm on the lookout for hearts. If I'm as lucky as my friend Lisa Kelley, maybe a few will come my way.  If you see one somewhere in nature, feel free to send a picture of it to me!

July 20 is a particularly special day in our family. It is both a wedding anniversary and a birthday. Nine years ago today, this boy made his way into the world.

"Storm on the Horizon" is a part of a series of three beach landscapes that sold in about 20 minutes at the 40 Art Show at Phoenix Art Supply in Doylestown last Friday. Very exciting! What a great show!

The skies were spectacular last Friday night as thunderstorms were rolling all around our little Brigantine island! 

This is one of three paintings that my son found himself in. It happens. I think he's somewhat used to it by now. My daughter, on the other hand, wondered why she didn't get in. She'll have her turn before long, I'm sure!

"Tidal Pool" is 7 x 5 inches.

Brigantine. A poem.

Between the sand and air,
time escapes 
into the infinity of the 
horizon.

This painting of the sea wall at the north end of the island is 5 x 7 inches and I plan to submit it to a show in Doylestown called 40 Art. All artworks will be 5 x 7 inches, unsigned (this is only digitally signed), and available for $40 from July 15-July 17. I can't wait to check it out!
