To the Beach!

Dreaming of sunshine and ocean breezes?

As I am a winter girl at heart, I am not longing for them, but I know that I'm in the minority.  Perhaps one of the most often requested murals is for ocean beach scenes.  (I have yet to be asked to paint a winterscape in someone's home.)

Here are some photos to warm your soul if you happen to be one of those that are longing for balmier weather.

I think if I feel the need to paint winter scenes, they will need to be on canvas!
