Looking Out
This semester I spent many hours in various classrooms at UNF. The campus has beautiful landscaping and there is a bamboo forest with tables and chairs where I liked to sit and study. This is the view from inside looking out. Third floor, building 39A, comp lab. It’s different than most of my paintings, maybe because my life is very different right now.
Sea TurtleI’ve been wanting to do a painting of this little guy for a while now and have finally gotten around to it. I saw him in Fernandina Beach eating seaweed off the side of dock last October. I wonder where he is now and what he’s munching on…

Whelk
The other day I decided to see if I could remember how to draw… I keep accumulating more and more pretty shells from walks on the beach. Normally I only pick up the ones that are in perfect condition, but lately I’ve been noticing the unique and interesting shapes and colors that some of the broken shells have.

Jax Beach Sunrise
I’ve spent the past couple of mornings surfing here by this pier. I’ve seen the sun rise here many times over the past 10 months, mostly while running with friends. I wanted to share the beauty of this spot that has a place in so many people’s hearts with you…

Moonrise
In honor of the full moon last night, here is my moonrise painting. I think it is amazing that in our world of distractions and technology, people still come out to the beach just to watch the moon rise. (Unfortunately it was cloudy last night…) I like to think about the things that still draw people together rather than all of the things that divide us.

Sunrise Splash
I am settling in to my new home here on the beach. Most mornings I get up and watch the sunrise. There’s no better way to start the day! Ocean, clouds, and sun – my three favorite things! The other morning I was inspired enough by the sunrise to dig out my paint and brushes. And the result; another 8″ x 10″!
Golden Drops of Rain
This one is dedicated to my friends and fellow instructors here at NCOBS. It has been one rainy summer! Kudos to everyone for pushing through and running awesome courses in the rain, thunder, and lightning. It has to stop sometime, right?
