Hookers and Boats by Lynda Cookson
From my years living in the West of Ireland, it was always so special to spot a Galway Hooker plying the waves, often between the Aran Islands off Galway and into Galway Bay. I believe there is still at least one enthusiast still making and restoring Hookers.
Years ago, in the area we lived in (Connemara) the Hookers would be used to ferry turf (peat) and supplies from the mainland to islands like the three Aran Islands. I watched a video once of an old movie made whilst towing a horse across the bay between the islands and Galway. I didn't much like that, feeling awful for the poor horse, but those days were much harder than now, in that respect, so perhaps I shouldn't judge!
I've popped in a couple of watercolours of boats amongst the Hooker paintings below.
Happy New Year everyone!

Sail Away by Joan Terrell
Sail Away (sold)
14"w x 11"h x 3/4"d cradled museum quality panel.
Sail Away was painted entirely by using a palette knife. The thick texture displays the ripples of paint as the sunlight ebbs and flows over these colorful sailboats and their reflections. Looking forward to more beautiful days on the lake soon.
I'm an artist living in disappearing rural Georgia about an hour outside of Atlanta. I love to create contemporary artwork and am especially inspired by the voices of flowers and whispers from my beloved Appalachian mountains. Thank you for joining me on this winding trail called an art journey. Now let's turn up the music in the studio and see where it takes us.

Balboa Island Resident, Boat Pulled Up On The Sand Oil by Janet Bludau
12" x 16" Oil on Canvas
Balboa Island in California has many such rowboats and sailboats and paddle boards pulled up on the sand just waiting for their next trip out.
Website: janetbludau.fineartstudioonline.com
I can't remember a time that I didn't have an artistic pursuit but I found my true love with painting. Although I enjoy exploring with different techniques and materials, I primarily work in oils with an abstract style. Thick paint placed with a palette knife and strong geometric shapes are often found in my paintings.
After earning a degree in Business Admin/Marketing, I went on to several "Big Girl" corporate jobs and then owned and ran a design business in Hawaii, importing antiques from the mainland. My education was rounded out through the UC Berkeley Extension Art Program and the College of Marin Art and Design Program. I am fortunate to have had wonderful instructors as well as the insightful critiques of my fun, fellow painters.

"Canoeing the Wisconsin River" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art
My family and I went canoeing with some friends on the Wisconsin River a few weeks ago. I kept trying to capture a photo of our canoes every time we stopped because I thought it would make a great painting. I'm so happy with the way it turned out and treasure the fun memories we made that day.

Well I do have many other paintings for you to go check out in my Etsy shop, but
here are a couple of my recent favorites.
I'm planning a trip to the beach, in Bethany Delaware for the 4th.
This boat painting is in anticipation really. Yes so excited.
And today I had a hot and humid day of gardening.
Planted Vinca, lavender, and Lantana along with some Lariope grass on the front sloped
area along the steps.
It troubles me that I don't see many honey bees anymore. Where have they gone?
