We spend a week every summer in Newport Beach and we love to wander down to Balboa. I adore this little market and thought I might try to paint it. We have dear friends who have the most adorable home on Balboa island. They call it the "barn" and I would love to paint it (so send me some pictures, ok?). I am actually thrilled with the way this painting came out and with the weather we are having ... I wish we were at the beach. I love Southern California!
"The Everyday Life of a Working Artist" is a new daily conversation about my life as an artist. Join me as I juggle family, painting, marketing and all of the other things I am lucky enough to cram in to a single day.
Wow, I have a lot of great posts to catch up on! I love this painting in particular... I love the beach, too!
ReplyDeleteLeslie - Your art is beautiful! And nothing beats a day at the beach!
ReplyDeletehmmm, I obviously haven't posted before...anyway this is Susie Gillespie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurie. It's funny how I can sit at the easel and never know if the finished painting will bee a "keeper" or not. But I do like this one.
ReplyDeleteBilly Goat #2 - Hey there Susie! So glad you found my blog. I know Aileen forwarded you the "Haven for Ice Cream" post. Great to hear from you as it has been WAY TOO LONG!
