Back again!

It sure has been a short and fast paced summer, or at least it's felt that way.  I get involved in a lot of yard and garden work during this time of year, which takes away from the artistic work.  However, I have managed to finish a beach scene - in blue tones. 

"Shoreline"
I keep reminding myself not to get involved in such detailed subjects.  They take way too long.  Unfortunately, I have a still-life on the board that is equally complex.  Maybe that one will go faster. 
And after that, I have a request for another portrait.  Seems as if my artistic life is planned out for the next month or so.
