I Bought This Cap at a Surf Shop

You know when you leave your ballcap at home and have to stop by the nearest "Surf Shop"? I am notorious for buying new caps because I forgot to pack one! I'm not saying that's where this girl got her's, but I thought it would be a funny title because we all can relate.
I'm still enjoying my July 4th photos at Caribe Resort in Orange Beach, AL. I may explore some beach shots I took of my husband and children. They had so much fun until the jellyfish started stinging. Ashlyn (5) vowed to never enter the ocean again!! It won't last.

I'm happy to say, we're home from the beach and I'm ready to paint! The girls are taking a tennis camp, so I have a little more time this week. I love painting from vacation photos, but I've decided to focus on life on the Gulf Coast. Having vacationed in one of the most beautiful places in the country...Yellowstone...I can't forget about the beauty we have here on the Gulf Coast. We may not have amazing mountains or paradise valleys, but we do have gorgeous beaches, bayways and ancient oaks!

The reason for this blog was to start painting more and to find my focus area. I may not focus on the Gulf Coast forever, but right now, I want to explore this beautiful area I live in and people's lives around me.
