Red Kayak Bliss by Josephine Hardison

Beginning a large painting is the best way to spend a snowy day. I can already see it in my head and can't wait to get it all down onto the canvas.

Then, when it is complete and I step back, I can almost feel the sun on my back and feel the sand under my toes. Well, almost.... but then I look outside, see the snow on the ground and it's back to reality! HaHa! My favorite thing to paint when it is cold and snowy......beaches. But then my favorite thing to paint when it's warm and sunny......beaches! What can I say, I love beaches, visiting them or painting them!!!

I am so excited to head to Orange Beach in March, so I am  painting all things coastal! I'm painting fish, shrimp, seagulls, boats and even lobsters. Lobsters may not be abundant in Alabama but what fun to have this hanging in your beach home! I can see it in someone's kitchen just waiting for a big pot to fill with lobsters for dinner! Hope I'm invited for dinner, love fresh lobster dipped in a little lemon butter, mmmmm!!! I can feel the butter dripping down my chin, but don't tell anyone, shhh!

Well it is cold and snowy in Kentucky, -15 degrees outside so I paint what I love! And this time it is not a beach, shocking I know but tulips are right up there with beaches!! They don't last long but are fascinating to watch bloom. I love when they first open and all the dark inside is peeking through the flower petals. Can't wait for those Spring bulbs to push up through the ground. Should be soon I HOPE!!

Snug as a "bug in a rug", or should I say "pups in a bed"?? Just doesn't have the same ring to it but they are adorable and have been such a comfort to someone special. I just can't say who!!?? It is so hard this time of year to be careful not ruin anyone's Christmas surprise. Hope this brings a smile to someone's face on Christmas morning!! Merry Christmas!! What a joy to a small part in so many Christmas morning surprises!!! Love that about painting!!

Nothing better than a sunset at the beach. This is from a photo my husband took on one of our trips to Bonaire. It is a beautiful Dutch Island known for scuba diving. After a day filled with diving, it is very relaxing to chill anywhere on the island and watch as the sun slips into the water. If you are lucky you can see a green flash as the sun enters the water. We weren't able to travel there this year so I pretended to be there by painting it!!!

Beach Love By Josephine Hardison

Another Turks and Caicos painting from our trip a few years ago. I never get tired of painting the beach. It makes me feel like I'm almost there!! This was such a wonderful place and so many small islands to explore. There is one main island Providenciales or "Provo" for short that is the most inhabited but it so forth the time to explore the smaller islands close by. It requires a little work to reserve the ferry and then a car, but worth it to see isolated beaches like the one above!!! 

So happy this sold and is being shipped out to New York City on Monday! Had to let the paint dry first!!! Such a great problem to have!! Thanks to the purchasers, honored to be in your home!!
