art helps...

i started this painting after my last post.

like the oil spill in the gulf,

it's big.

36"x48"

i've been busy.

sad waterbaby angel.

although my painting

does

not

help

the oil spill...

it

helps

me.

sad waterbaby

i'm a waterbaby.

it's no secret. i love, LOVE the water.

i LOVE the sand.

i can't get enough of it.

i can spend ALL day at the beach.

i love it so much.

scenes of the beach often make their way into my paintings.

and my favorite dreams.

i vacation at the beach every year.

beautiful pristine beaches in the gulf of mexico.

ah yes,

the GULF OF MEXICO.

that is why...

i am CRYING.

i am MOURNING.

i am ANGRY.

i am SCARED.

i am HELPLESS.

i'm a SAD waterbaby.

indeed.

take a good, long, hard look at these beautiful images

from the gulf of mexico.

for it may be the last time we see them.

BP OIL

has

POLLUTED this body of water

beyond

anything we have

ever

seen

before.

it will NEVER be the same.

i am SICK over this.

you should be too.

sad waterbaby here.

images brought to you

by

mother nature.

she's sad too.

blooming

i hope your weekend was filled with fresh blooms.

glowing sunshine

mixed with

crystal raindrops.

giddy anticipation.

girl party's and neighborhood get togethers.

giggles and joyful tears.

tasty morsels and angel water.

music and fireworks.

pool openings.

bubbles and silly hats.

girlfriends sleeping over.

jammies and bloodymary's at noon.

tender cheeks from smiling so much.

new friends.

old friends.

reunion with traveling hubby.

memories.

and all those

luscious blooms.

i'm blooming.

ever

so

happily.

what a fantastic weekend.

thanks for visiting my blog! i truely appreciate it!

really, i do...more than you know.

this will be a very busy week for me...

still planting to be done at a client's garden tommorrow (in the heat).

shopping for a new washer and dryer, as my old faithful maytag bit the dust after 25 years.

hubby was surprised when i informed him that you can't just buy a dryer...you have to buy the matching washer to go with it!

right?

and getting ready for a girl party at my house this weekend!

lots to do...

i'll be fussing over my house and gardens for sure.

entertaining is a great incentive to get things spruced up.

wish me luck.

i feel overwhelmed!

YIKES!
