Beach Flowers

My new "Beach Day" 10x10 Art Block on 2" Cradled Wood Panel. Available here.

Beautiful Flower Arrangement commissioned by Dionne from Flores del Sol.

I just had to share this beautiful flower arrangement created by Flores del Sol. I have never had flowers designed from one of my paintings, so this is a true milestone. It doesn't hurt that they're gorgeous, either. And, by the way, Dionne has a great blog and is doing lots of fantastic giveaways right now. I've entered them all! :)

Speaking of which, I have a winner for the Matteo Pericoli book, and it is none other than the lovely Gina Lee Kim. Thank you, everyone, for participating and for sharing your beautiful "out my window" views. And congratulations, Gina. I will be shipping your book shortly!

Beach Day!

"Beach Day" prints on velvet fine art paper are available today on ETSY.

I had so much fun doing my first surfing painting, "I'll Follow the Sun," that I decided to do another in this theme. I'm really feeling summery -- probably the recent 90+ heatwave we've been having in NY-- and we've been taking the family to the beach a lot. We bring a little kiddie pool with us for Annabelle and just filling it with sea water. She loves it! What an innovation for toddlers. :)

Speaking of summer, I was selected as part of Poppytalk Handmade's "Here Comes the Sun" markeplace from now through July. Come visit!
