November Beach Day - 8x10
Can't beat this view. Love this empty beach almost as much as my toddler does.

Santa Barbara Courthouse - 18x24
Finally getting around to posting this piece, it's been a rough couple of weeks around here! Seriously, all I want for Christmas is for all of Lily's canine teeth to come in, 1 down 3 to go.
Anyway, about the painting. How could I not paint this? Bright whites? Purpley shadows? Gorgeous palms and red roofs? It's everything I love in one piece.

What I've been up to for the past year
Just in case anyone wanted to have a peek at what I've been working on, here it is! It took exactly one year (to the day!) but it's finished! A series of ten commissioned paintings for the Cadence development in Las Vegas.
It was a challenge, and an incredible learning experience and I'm so thankful for it. It was the perfect project for this season in my life.
It was like maybe God knew I was...
Loon Beach Cliffs - 15x30
People asked me when I was pregnant if I thought the subject of my art would change after I had the baby. I can confidently say that the things I'm drawn to paint are pretty much the same. What has changed though is the size! If I'm going to sacrifice sleep to paint then I better paint something substantial!

Loon Beach in Clouds - 16x20
I can't believe I have lived here this long and never ventured to Loon Beach. Not only was it a quiet spot, but a new location to paint!
Sometimes I love painting fog at the beach, something about the deep blue of the clouds contrasted with the gold tones of the sand, just perfect.
