The Watch - daily painting,beach scene

6x6" oil on canvas. The Watch. Do you know this woman? Well If you're a Mom whose been to the beach with kids, then you know her -'cause she's YOU! Always watching, always checking and double checking, doing a head count. Even when sitting with the latest People magazine, one eye is always on the water. Moms at the Beach are one of my favorite subjects.

Our Spot

6x6" oil on masonite
What's my emotional connection to this image? It is totally romantic. I NEVER had a baby sit in my lap at the beach. They were always running somewhere. I can relate to how she is looking around, possible watching an older child and all the 'stuff '. I love painting the 'stuff'.

Moms On Duty

6x6' oil on masonite sold
I love to work on a painting with the title already in my head. For some reason its more fun. About 6 titles were bouncing around, this is the one that won out. We're so lucky-my friends and I- that this is the way we spend many of our summer days. Sweet. But not easy, as every mom knows ...we are ON DUTY the whole time. ...but still. aren't we always? might as well be at the beach.
