Still here!  I am feeling that this move is really going to happen as I am surrounded by boxes and a mountain of stuff that is going to be donated to the Salvation Army.  I have discovered the joy of Craigslist and have decided to never pay full price again without checking craigslist first! It is so easy!  Anyway, I am posting another of my favorites and really will be getting back to my easel soon!  Yesterday my friend and fellow artist, Claudia Finn, and I took a trip to East Beach, which is only thirty minutes from my home and saw the Coastal Living East Beach house.  It is SO beautiful!  If you live in this area, check the hours that it is open and go see it!  It is 10.00 but if you love coastal living style, you will love this home.  The whole neighborhood is beautiful and the beach is gorgeous.  I thought I would share some of the sights I saw yesterday.......enjoy!

Beach Bum

Beach Bum!

That's me!  Still working on my dream to be a beach bum/artist!  For those of you who have followed my blog the last month or so, you know that it is actually happening!  I am set to move next month and have been going through all the stuff that has accumulated for the last 25 years!  I had done pretty well with my stuff but I still have remnants of things my boys had growing up and in high school that I have needed to get feedback and today, my youngest son, Andrew went back to Virginia Tech for his sophomore year and moved into his own apartment with roommates.  We were up at the crack of dawn loading the car and trailer with most of the contents of his room! 

I went for a bike ride the other evening in the new neighborhood and had so much fun checking out all the beach cottages and taking in all that wonderful sea air!  I needed a break from all the boxes and dust for awhile to keep me at it!  :-)  I want to share a picture of the bench where I hope to have my morning coffee and also one of the fattest sea gulls I have ever seen!  I really will be getting back to my easel soon but for the next month or so it may be only once or twice a week.  Thanks for continuing to check in with me and I WILL BE BACK.  

After Andrew left with his bed in tow, I was worried about our cat Rusty who always sleeps in his bed...where would she go??  I know sleeping with Bailee, the dog is out!

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.

No, I didn't drop off the face of the earth but have been still working towards my goal of moving to the sea!  My home if officially on the rental market and I have been having so much fun looking at potential areas to live and what is available.  More places come on the market every day.  As soon as it rents and I find a spot, I should be able to paint again until I move so I will keep you posted.  In the meantime, I am showcasing my favorite beach paintings!   This one really captures the romantic feeling of walking through the door to the magic of the sea beyond!  Hope your day is great and I hope you will keep checking back!
