Beach Boardwalk, L. Daniel, 9 x 12We are home now. It was sad to leave St. Simons Island, but after five weeks away, it feels good to be back. This is my last painting done in Georgia (on Jekyll Island), but definitely not my last painting of the coastland imagery. I will be revisiting the colors and forms of the beaches and marshlands for a good while to come. As my "painting sabbatical" ends, I feel great satisfaction... both expectant and excited about where this work will lead me next. Having devoted painting time like this is a rare and wonderful opportunity and I enjoyed every minute! Thanks for your many wonderful comments of encouragement and for sharing the journey with me!
Laurel,
ReplyDeleteI sure have enjoyed your paintings of St. Simons Island these last few weeks. I can't wait to see what comes next! Thanks so much for sharing your journey with all of us.

Laurel,
ReplyDeleteI've been vacationing vicariously through your posts over the last several weeks! And I've loved your work. Surely it was bittersweet leaving, but we're glad you're back - can't wait to connect. Welcome home. xoxo, Becky
I went to the beach yesterday. You captured how it felt...
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
5 weeks went fast!
ReplyDeleteYou really took ful advantage of the trip and did awesome work.
You inspire me!
Laurel, I just spent a fabulous hour on your blog - thank you so much. Your work is captivating and inspiring. Your comments informative as well. I most often paint in the studio, but armed with your inspiration am going outside.
ReplyDeleteLove the softness of this and the quiet, peaceful feeling. (Where do you sell your 9x12's?) Fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteThis is miraculous Laurel,
ReplyDeleteLike everything else you've done. It is so great to have time to just paint. I don't know how you juggle all you do normally, and turn out
masterpieces every time you paint.
XOXOXOXOXBarbara
I love to travel but it's always wonderful to return home.
ReplyDeleteThis is another very special painting. I love your simple forms and the way the color pleases the eye.
