This little bird is singing it's heart out. Sometimes I try to imagine a world without birds and especially the sound of birds singing which is so comforting and uplifting especially when things feel

so heavy in the world. I love to sit on my screened porch and watch the birds coming to my bird feeder. Last week I had a giant hawk sit on the bird bath! Here is a photo of him or her!

Anyone know what type of hawk this is? I was really startled when I first caught a glimpse out of the corner of my eye. The morning light was beautiful and after sitting for quite awhile he headed up into the tree. I bet he makes the squirrels nervous!

More coastal fun! I love to watch the beach grass wave with the breeze and beckon

you on to the water. Hope your week is going well!

I have been having so much fun painting coastal themed paintings lately. Whenever I travel inland to visit family, I am always so excited to return to the sights and sounds of coastal Virginia. My son visited the other day and he has been away from our area for awhile. We stopped in to 17th Street Surf Shop for him to get a bathing suit and he became very nostalgic for the beach clothes he used to love.  There is a laid back feel here that you don't feel inland. So glad I can share some of what makes our area special. Hope you have a fabulous Friday and a relaxing summer weekend!

Deep in thought and looking very handsome in dramatic light. Such a great model and another well loved dog who belonged to a great lady who lives in Virginia Beach. Thank you to all this month's models. I still need a few more as there is still another week left in the month. What a great experience. So much great practice and experience doing what I love. Mixing paint in my sleep and drawing everything in sight...some of the side effects. :-)
