Glimpse of Summer

 I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend ahead as we remember all who have served our country~ Summer is in the air here and the California coast has been picture perfect. After a day of photographing and studying the sea I couldn't help but to paint my memories.

 My soul is so connected to the water, I always find peace and happiness there. I crave the smell of salt water and the grainy texture of the sand. Often I find myself pulling out the paint brushes to express my love for this healing place.

 The waves have been sculpted from paper and plaster to create a unique 3D effect on canvas. Sculpting allows me to have the freedom to form the oceans movement.

Once the waves are shaped, I carefully paint the sea's hues with acrylics bringing it to life.

I hope you've enjoyed this little glimpse of summer I bring to you~ To view more click HERE

Sending you warm sunny days ahead!

MOM

 This morning I went for a walk down at the beach.  I couldn't help but notice an adorable little girl running into her moms arms. She had the biggest smile on her face, she sparkled. Even though the air was cold the moment was so warm and pure.
Her mom beamed as her little girl filled her world. 

I flashed back to those days with my mom. She was my world and loved me unconditionally. 

Twenty Seven years have passed and she's never stopped being the mom she was when I was little.  Having her in my life everyday is a gift I'll always be so thankful for. 

Thank you mom for sharing your world with me. 

Wishing all the Mother's and Grandmother's out there a very special day~

Happy Mother's Day!

Love,
Noel
