DO YOU HEAR THE SWEET MUSIC?

SWEET TUNES  HOLLYWOODS FARMERS MARKET 6" x 6" pastel $295 + $15 insured priority shipping A fog greeted me as I peered out the window this morning. Dismal?  No, for the day took me away to a memory a short time ago.  The day was similar with an overcast, bland sky and my excitement grew for I was traveling to the  Hollywoods Farmers Market.  The bustle, colors, sounds, smells and people. . . such a feast for eyes! As I walked, I heard the sweetest yet soft melody from afar.  Ahead was a man sitting in the middle of the street. Oblivious to the crowd, he softly played the flute.  And the fog cleared and my spirits soared!  

DINGHY GALORE

1, 2, 3 .... DINGHY 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel white archival matte, glass + 8" petite gold leaf frame SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR Since I am on the topic of the Ocean, decided to create this petite pastel. The scene I captured is from my recent trip to the Town of Avalon at Catalina Island in search of wildflowers. The tiny beach has a few docks with dinghies tightly roped and crammed together. If you remember - and do hope someone is out there is reading this, with many thanks - it rained nearly the whole time I was there. There were such wonderful clouds between the rain drops, yet overcast the majority of the time. And it was very overcast at this point, so I attempted to brighten the painting with splashes of bold color. One good thing about a dinghy - there's no need to dog paddle!
