Now that I am home, it is time to get back to work. I have decided to show you a few of the paintings that I am creating for my annual open house. I have had an open house for 30 years. It has grown with me. I am grateful to all of my patrons. I hope that you will enjoy thiese "sneak peeks" of some of the paintings that will be available in May.Here is a painting that I owe to friends of ours that took us to lunch on their boat while we were in Florida. We passed through a harbor that had many "shrimping" boats. They have such character. I liked the textures, the colors and the lines that the image of these docked ships created for me. I also liked the name. I recently lost a friend whose name was Shirley. She would be pleased. Thanks Jim and Lois for the lunch and the painting. I hope that today's painting will stir a few memories for all of you. Have a great day.
