and another....

Walking back over the dunes, I caught just a glimpse of this beach house. So typical of the Outer Banks. This was later in the day, and the sun was lighting up the grasses

current favorite...

A morning walk on South Beach at Salvo gave me the chance to see this beautiful mist over the dunes. The telephone poles on Highway 12 make you really aware that this is Hatteras Island.
I love the limited palette...

...and one more

Love the waterlilies. Am convinced I was a geisha in a former life. Have a beautiful oriental wall quilt from my friend, Eileen Williams; I treasure everything Oriental

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!
