    Wonderful colours in this; our weather is still more like January than Spring.

    HA, good one! I love the shore (especially the Cape) and miss it a lot. Such a beautiful color palette, love those shells! Was this ever made into a tapestry or throw? I love all your themes and alphabet creations!

    Krista, I swear! Your head must be filled with so many pleasant things, I'm sure it's almost impossible for you to create anything else but! This particular piece made me long for the ocean so bad... Well, maybe it's time for a vacation, yes? (^_^) oxox

    Beautiful! I like the different type of framing, it gives a open feeling and it's fits the theme of the ocean perfectly!

    That's called eternal optimism. :) Oh, this is sun-shiny and happy! I can hear the lapping of the waves. I want to throw on a bathing suit and romp on the sand. I want to go to the Cape!

    Oh I had something in mind like springy colors and then I read Bella's comment and all I want now is to see her in a bathing suit at the Cape!

    I agree! Spring is ALWAYS a welcome sight for many of us New Englanders... but once it starts to warm up I automatically fast forward to the balmy days of summer.
    Gorgeous art work with lovely colors and form.

I am a lighthouse kinda guy. :o) Your work always brings me a sense of calm and joy and this one is the epitomy.
