6x8" oil on canvas, SOLD
Well, August here in San Diego means the beaches are jammed with sunburned visitors from all over the country. There are a few beaches that only the locals know about and they work hard to keep it that way. Folks here are very protective of their beaches. Litter on these beaches and you might get a swift kick in the Speedos. It's a good thing though, better to go swimmin' with the fishies than somebody's empty Fritos bag.

Another one of those crazy kids on the beach. I love the way they walk with the swim fins on their feet--a vision of grace! I'm not painting any Easter bunnies or colored eggs this year but these beach paintings are my salute to spring. Happy Easter Egg hunting!

This is another in the series of kids on the beach. Love the goggles! Nothing like a blue sky, miles of beach and a fabulous new bikini!
5"x 5", oil on canvas, SOLD
This is the first in a series of beach paintings. Of course, they won't be your usual lovely beachscapes from me. Instead, I've been thinking about how funny little kids look in swim suits; the baggy butts, droopy straps and goggles that give them an eerie resemblance to bugs. So in honor of Spring Break, here in beautiful San Diego, I'm going to have a little fun at the expense of children's swimsuit designers and the little sprouts who would rather go to the beach au naturel.

This week I am busy getting ready for a show so there won't be as many daily paintings but I will post some of my larger pieces that are going to be hung in the show. I am still painting every day (and every night) and hopefully I'll be able to paint a couple of small canvases later in the week. Thanks for checking in.
