I just finished this last night, maybe I will work on it a bit more, what do you think? I call it "Unsettled Weather Today", it is 14" x 12" acrylic on canvas. Even though this is near my house, when I go to this place at Rebecca Spit Provincial Park on Quadra Island in BC, I can see for miles and it takes me away...

Hi Nanci,
I can feel that brooding weather and hear the crash of the waves. It's great.

Zorba ... What a beautiful painting! You made this junk pile into something special. If we could all see through the artist's eyes!

| thanks for the comments! It isn't really a pile of junk-it is all driftwood and seaweed on a gravel beach. Or is that what you meant, l'Artiste-Poet? |

Hi, Zorba, About that "pile of junk" ... No, I was talking about the pile of cars in Baja. Did I get the wrong artist?

PS I can't get the reply box to open and accept text, so I have to do the quick reply. I hope you get this. |

Hey, firesign, I was talking to Zorba "about that pile of junk"..about the pile of wrecked cars in Baja California - Not about your lovely driftwood.
Problem is that I can't post anything anywhere except in the"quick reply" box because the "reply" option will not let me enter text, photos, or anything! So I guess the messages don't look as if they are directed right to the person. I did start my message with "Zorba"....however.

to LWurster, moderator: Hope you find this. I would like to post something but the "reply" will not allow me to enter text or images. I'm using "quick reply" for a couple of messages, but as for the rest, I GIVE UP!
any suggestions?

The secret of the reply is to hit "normal" under "paragraph" and it lets you post. Weird, huh, otherwise it freezes.
Sorry l'Artiste, I wasn't really paying attention I guess. |

Hola l"artiste
Glad you like my junk cars..
I drove by the spot yesterday and they are all gone.
So, my little painting becomes a historical document..
Iike you said,, only an artist would even stop long enough to take a photo.
This part of Mexico is so beautiful that I sometimes get over loaded. That's when old cars and street dogs become models..

Cool! I like the idea that it is a "historical document". Yes, not just this, but your other works, are very nice. I like your use of my favorite medium: watercolor. My work is still too structured for my personal painting goals - comes from a background in scientific illustration. I must practice ....

OK, now I've got it. click "normal" and all is right again. So here is my "vacation" painting. Must say that I have not been on a vacation for over 25 years! And so, each year, I go out kayaking on Whiskeytown Lake (N.Calif Ntl. Park) - it's a free ranger-guided outing of three hours or more. For me, this is vacation - and I love it! Took some photos and I liked the reflections and dead branches in this one, so decided to paint it - simple but fun to do.
It's called "Time to Reflect"

L'artiste - Your painting looks good. I love the reflections and the corkscrewed branches.

That's a nice thing to say, firesign. I guess I 'was there' when I painted it. 'preciate the comment. I like the ocean in your 'pile of (not junk) driftwood - looks inviting, storm and all.
