Norma Wilson Original Oil Hatteras Sunset Landscape Seascape Painting Art

"Hatteras Sunset"

© Norma Wilson, original oil on board, 8"by 10"

My son visited Hatteras along the outer banks of North Carolina this past week and send me a text with a photo which said, "paint this mom!".  I wish I had been there to enjoy such a beautiful sunset!

When you think about the limited amount of sunrises and sunsets we all have in our lifetime, we should probably make it a point to spend that time watching them more often!  As I am not more of

a morning person, I think I have a better chance with sunsets! :-) Hope you enjoyed the Labor Day weekend. Mine was very relaxing and now I am excited about the week ahead with lots of commissions and paintings ahead! Thank you for stopping by!

Had some fun with a palette knife on this painting! I plan to do more soon. It's fun to shake things up and try new tools!

What a show nature puts on at the end of the day...it really is breathtaking and something we can take for granted during our busy lives.  I am lucky to live near the bay and often see the beautiful colors when I am coming home in the evening.  It was a joy to paint!  Hope you have a wonderful day!

Remember when you would have a sick day from school and feel guilty that you were not at school?  Perhaps not everyone felt that way but I sure did.  Even though I was not feeling well, and my Mom would send in a note, I didn't feel right until I gave my note to the teacher.  Well, after posting to my blog for 150 days straight and then taking a few days off...I felt a little guilty.  But I really was busy doing very creative stuff!  With help from my friend, Claudia Finn, I organized my studio and purged yet again!  I am living in about a third the space I had before so I really have to make use of every square inch!  I painted a foot stool white and covered it in burlap, painted the furniture white, even painted the containers I keep my brushes in white and made some burlap curtains for over my open storage units.  I am ready for action again!  Here are some pictures.

I have my eye on the black rolling chair...I think it needs a coat of fabric

spray paint!  White of course! 

Decided to hang the blackboard in the kitchen without a frame for now.

A friend asked if I needed to remind myself to feed my dog Bailee.  I

had forgotten to feed her in spite of having it on my board!  Poor Bailee.

It was only about an hour overdue. :-(

Hope you have a fantastic Monday!  I will be back at my easel tomorrow refreshed and ready to get busy!

   These little Ghost Crabs are not always visible.  Hence, the name, I guess.  I told my friend, Barbara, that I wanted to paint a little crab that I'd seen at the beach and she recounted a story of a trip to the beach with her daughter where she threw out a Dorito and out came the little crab to pick up the chip and ran off!  They decided to try this again and learned each time they were quick to retrieve them.  She said she had a picture of one of the crabs and was very sweet to bring it to one of our painting sessions for me to paint.  It was fun to do and a a first for this type of crab.  

   Once again, I had a great response of names for yesterday's unnamed post.  The name that was chosen using Random.org is Precious Pearl!  Thank you to Sharon Hanson for the wonderful suggestion!  Some of the other names were Resi, Alma, Susi, Berta, and  Elsa sent in from Angelika, Moo...talking to me? from Sean, Snowflake from Barb, Daisy Moo from Rita, Sweetpea from Luanne, Ellie from an unnamed source :-), and last but not lease, Lily, from Barbara.  All lovely names and I hope I can "borrow" one of these names for future paintings.  I just worked on a British cow today after hearing from a reader that she would like to see me painting one and that will show up in the next week!  So to all of you....thanks for putting on all your thinking caps and sharing the fun!
