Happy Fourth!




Slow down summer! Wow, it goes so fast.

Here's a photo of my new favorite vacation spot. It's in North Carolina, but I can't tell you exactly where, because too many people are discovering it and I'm afraid it'll turn into another Rehoboth. The locals all complain about us "yankees" coming down there as it is. It's not very populated, the beaches are beautiful and big and uncrowded. The water is WARM in June, well, at least warmer than here. There's beautiful places to paint and some great old houses. The Seafood House is in a neighboring town with a couple of cool restaurants around it. You can have a drink on the water and watch the pelicans swoop in like a group of Blue Angels.

I was outside sketching a beautiful plantations-style house in the middle of a park one day when I was approached for a commission. The other photo is the house I was commissioned to render in pen/ink. You can check out the final product on the website. If you'd like your house done, just give me a jingle. :)
