Beach Abstraction

Beach Abstraction
9" by 12" original oil on linen panel

It seems I could also call this piece, Beach Distraction! These last couple of weeks since I made my decision to rent my house and move to the beach....I have been a wee bit distracted from my painting!  I am so excited to share that I have found someone to rent my house in Chesapeake and will be renting a duplex in Virginia Beach that is 50 yards from the Atlantic Ocean!!  I wanted to get closer to the beach but did not dream that this would be a possibility!  I am going to have to really downsize which I started more than a year ago and have been doing full time in the last two weeks but I can't wait to start this new adventure and to share all the inspirations that this change will surely bring!  While down seeing my new place, I took this picture....
View Down The Street!

The duplex I am going to rent is at the northend of the beach needs some paint and TLC to make it shine and I would love to share the progress when the move begins.  On this end I have begun transforming my old furniture and adapting it to the new beach cottage look!  Here is the first piece which is from my dining room when I was growing up and I finally broke down on Friday and painted it white.  This is just the primer coat but I kind of like it just the way it is!  

Hope your weekend has been restful and fun!  Thanks for visiting!  Please contact me with any questions about my work at normasart@cox.net.
