It is a pity that a place like that cannot be left alone, forever man interfering with its beauty sooner or later.<br />I enjoyed the post on the island also - there is nothing so nice than arriving on an island by boat and no other transport available.

Give it time to work off the rust. One watercolor trick on red is to use it first and then cover it with masking fluid so it doesn’t bleed into the other colors. I did that today with a sailboat hull.

It’s the airboats in the summer that are problematic. <br /><br />Tina, I wish I could make a “good” living painting watercolors, but it’s not the most lucrative profession, especially in this economy. Still, the spiritual payoffs are huge.<br /><br />Cynthia, what’s the link to your post on art and writing?<br /><br />Alyson thanks!<br /><br />Tracy, my hope is a modification of the proposal for multiple use: swimming and kayaking in the summer and clamming during the rest of the year.<br /><br />Edith, thanks for following all my threads. Both painting and writing are challenging but rewarding.<br /><br />Tricia, that’s good to hear from another writer.<br /><br />Kelly, that’s exactly what I said to my daughter. She seemed part of the landscape, almost like a figurehead on a ship.<br /><br />Bee, it’s not swimming weather here either. We are waiting another year before he gets a driver’s license, plenty of time to practice. I freak out looking at the accident stats, but he’s a cautious driver.<br /><br />Pamela, thanks!Sarah Laurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00423008641739156182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-51242387435494847302010-09-15T16:49:35.994-04:002010-09-15T16:49:35.994-04:00I love it when you showcase your beautiful paintin...I love it when you showcase your beautiful paintings!Pamela Terry and Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746603636884819522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5259325291907281485.post-15604668149215189732010-09-15T15:54:24.394-04:002010-09-15T15:54:24.394-04:00Wonderfully impressionistic, and bit mysterious, t...Wonderfully impressionistic, and bit mysterious, too -- like all creative processes.<br /><br />58 degrees here today, with a nippy wind! no more swimming, for sure.<br /><br />I was much struck by the idea of your teenage driver.
