View from our dock

Love the marshes in east Carolina. I am surrounded by them here. This is one of the docks leading to Eastman Creek, where it meets the ICWW.

Another new one...

...getting ready to take work to the Outer Banks; this one will go to Greenleaf Gallery at Duck.
Haven't done the lighthouses in a long time, but am trying out my new techniques.

and another...

The sky here is where the transparent acrylics are most obvious....

trying something new....

Having recently taken a workshop with Dan Nelson from Raleigh, I am applying what I learned to some new work. Here is the little bird from the last post, done using Dan's underpainting of transparent acrylics which show through (if you let them....) Dan is a fabulous painter as well as a gifted instructor...learned so much from him!

Thinking of summer...

Cannot wait to get back to the Outer Banks this summer...so look forward to time with Kim at "the Pea" and getting to see all the customers who come to visit. In anticipation, I have been doing many beach scenes. Here are some of my favorites so far....

And more of the beach....

A trip to the mountains...

A great trip to Fancy Gap, Va. with my friends, Georgia and Sasha. Despite the rain, we loved it all!
