This was a scene from the Santa Barbara harbor on the first day that I arrived. Such a fun scene to paint. I'm back in Singapore after having to go back to the US for the weekend, so as soon as this laundry gets finished I'm back in the studio. Next week is The Fair @ the Hilton Hotel, so if you are in Singapore, come by and see my booth! I'd love to see you there.

This painting is of a scene that I have grown up witnessing and always wanted to put to paint. Finally, in the last year, I felt like I could possibly do it justice. Soon I hope that I can maybe paint it bigger than 4x4! This is a shrimp boat that can be seen from Highway 278 as you are leaving Hilton Head Island and crossing onto the mainland, Bluffton. Such a beautiful scene in the Lowcountry that is fast disappearing.

In other news, my husband and I are off for the week to Vietnam. We are headed to Saigon, one of our favorite cities, then we thought we would try a beach in Vietnam - Mui Ne. Supposedly the kite surfing is grand, so we're going to try and catch a wave or two, wish us luck! My husband just finished working 55 days straight (no days off!) so I think he deserves a bit of a break. I'm happy to tag along ;).

This is another little 4x4 study that I did. I just love the sailboats on the intracoastal waterway. I didn't get nearly enough time on HHI. I didn't even see the beach there!

Wow, finally back in the saddle at the easel. Well, sort of. I'm very much looking forward to getting life pulled back together here in Singapore. While I was in the US my husband moved us out of temporary housing into our regular apartment. I've decided that having packers pack your things is great, until they unpack. Because they insist on unpacking for damage and insurance purposes. So instead of being able to ignore certain boxes pushed against a wall, I walked into a house that had piles of stuff all over. My husband did a fantastic job of starting the process of getting settled in, but he's been working 7 days a week. So in the meantime, I get to walk in circles putting away piles of things ;)...
