High Society

5x7" pastel on archival sanded paper

In yesterday's post I mentioned that I was at
the Newport beach pier having a cherry coke.
Well I also had a Santa Fe burger and some fries.
I couldn't eat all of my fries, but I knew a few
feathered friends that would. So I gathered them
up into a paper napkin and off I went. All it
took was one wave of my arm and I suddenly
felt like I was in a Hitchcock movie.
It didn't take long for the pigeons and gulls
to gobble up my leftovers. One seagull
flew in a bit too late, but was kind enough to pose
for me anyway.

Gulf View

5x7"
Pastel on sanded paper

It snowed in NWA last night.
It was pretty, but the sun has melted
almost all of it . I am so tired
of being cold, so I thought I would
paint one of my favorite, warm, places to be.
The beach.
I am really happy with this painting. The serene
feeling I get when I am near the gulf, came through in
today's daily painting.
