It’s such a hot, humid day I am wishing to live a bit closer to the ocean, satisfying my craving by painting up ships and other summery things in the air conditioning. But I had to share two more things from the other day, the cutest sailor themed bathing suit from the early 1900’s. It …

painting, work in progress
I am working on some new paintings. For the past few days this gal has been taking up all my time (with the exception of a trip to the sea yesterday). I worked on her all afternoon, here she is on my floor (although she is much further along now but it is too dark …
treasures from a sea cottage…
