Norma Wilson Original Oil Seascape Palm Tree Beach Art

Tropical Dream

12" by 16" oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted

This painting was a joy to paint as I have spent a couple of wonderful tropical vacations in such scenic places and have lived near the ocean all my adult life. Can't you just see yourself sipping something cool and refreshing while scanning the scene for some dolphins? Have you ever swam with the dolphins? That is SO COOL! I'd love to it again.
My friend Barbara came today and we painted together with Ella Fitzgerald and Michael Buble playing to give us inspiration. I did manage to get paint all over me as usual. You would think after all this time...I could keep it on the brush. I also worked on two other pieces which will you will be seeing in the next couple of days. I am loving my new Canon Powershot camera and took some great pictures of the cook today at Kyoto's Japanese restaurant. I plan to do a painting of him too!

Norma Wilson Original Oil Pink Flamingo Bird Art

Tonight's post is a 14" by 18" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted.

What a gorgeous day it was today here in Virginia. I reworked the background on this flamingo to reflect how I felt today......downright tropical! I spent the afternoon in my new studio getting caught up on paperwork but also got in a nice walk around Portsmouth and enjoyed spending time with fellow artists. Some were working on portraits others on tropical fish and another on a tribute to Native Americans for our upcoming "Freedom" themed show. Great fun!

I came home to a dinner I had set up in the crock pot. I have usually been disappointed with my crock pot attempts but this was delicous. I put cube steak with sliced onions, green peppers, canned chopped tomoatoes, and monterey steak spice into it on low all day. It is so nice to come home to the smell of something cooking! If anyone has a good crock pot recipe....I'd love to hear about it!!!! Ideas for future subject matter for my paintings is great also! Have a super Friday.
