DAY FOUR: I thought you might like to see a buoy in progress. This is the 5th one down from the top (shown in the photo above as a red circle.)

This is the 6th buoy from the top. I want this one to be a bit of out focus so I'm blending the outside edge into the sand.

Here it is mostly done. I need to let it dry for a day or two so I can blend the red and white edges for a softer, blurry look.
For the past several days I’ve been working on the fourth painting in my series called “VACATION.” I’ve been painting a string of red buoys that were resting in the sand while the tide was out. I took the photo while we were in Cedar Key, FL during February.
I wasn’t looking forward to painting this piece as much as some of my others, but once I got started, it has been great fun. If you look closely, you’ll notice a sea-gull in the blurry part of the water at the top of the painting. I love that!
This piece is a little different from my whimsical landscapes, but I’m pretty excited with how it’s turning out. It’s a more grown-up version of my normally playful scenes with water.
This is really beautiful. I wish I had a cottage in Door County. I would decorate around this series. Very unique.
Love you!

Great job:)
