I think they are much more attractive with their brightly colored orange beaks and feet. They seem to get along just fine with the brown guys.

Daily Painting, Birds, "Pelican Patrol" 6x18"
You may notice that these are not your everyday type of pelicans. Most pelicans are brown and gray and kind of dull, unless they are a breeding male, their heads turn yellow during breeding season.
These beautiful birds, are larger, and a little on the rare side. I found these in Sebastian, Florida where a large colony lives.

Tropical Fish Painting, Palette Knife Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 12x12x1.5"
This is a painting inspired by a trip to Key Largo, where we viewed the incredible coral reefs of the area.
The waters were teeming with fish of every color and shape. Some were very curious and a few were right out scary!
We viewed them from a glass bottom boat, although I have to admit, I envied those brave souls who were in the water with them.
Thank you for viewing my blog today.

Daily Painting, "Atlantic Seascape", 8x10" SOLD
Who does not love the sea? The beach is a place of healing and joy. The salt cleanses us and the sun embraces us in its warmth. The ocean heals the heart, mind, and soul.
I have two loves, the sea and the mountains. They both have their own beauty and are ever changing. They both bring peace to my life.

I hope you find your own little slice of heaven this weekend.

Daily Painting, Oil, "The Beach at Sanibel", 6x8" SOLD
A recent trip to Sanibel brought me plenty of images to paint. Of course, the beach had to be the star.
I had not visited the area for many, many years, and I must admit that I forgot how beautiful it is. The water is aqua and clear, much like the tropical waters of the Caribbean Islands.
I passed this little group of sea oats every morning on the path to the sea. My favorite activity was to walk the beach as the sun was rising, with only the occasional fisherman or shell hunter and lots of pelicans and gulls for company.

Daily Landscape Painting, "Blue Ridge Switchback" 6x8 SOLD
Today's daily painting is one of my favorites. We decided to take a drive to Water Rock Knob, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in beautiful North Carolina.
It was a beautiful, clear October day and I tried hard to capture the clear skies and gorgeous fall foliage.
Living in Florida for 40 years, I miss the fall colors and smells I remember from my childhood in Ohio. It is the best part of my visits to North Carolina and I try to get there in mid-October every year.
As a child I loved to rake the leaves into a pile and take a running jump right into the middle. In those days we would rake the yard and then burn the leaves. There was nothing better than walking to school on a sidewalk covered with leaves, crackling under my feet as I shuffled along. Evenings conjure up memories of hay rides followed by warm donuts and cider. That's before the days of Dunkin Donuts, these were home made and covered in sugar and cinnamon.
I am sorry my grandchildren will never have those memories, but I know when they think back on their childhoods they will find something equally as pleasing to remember.

Daily Painting "Morning Sail" 6x8 Oil Landscape SOLD
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
--Mark Twain
The thing about sailing, is that it looks like a lot more fun than it actually is. I know, I know, that's just my opinion, so please don't get upset! I enjoyed my days on the boat and I still love to spend an afternoon sailing.
Now, when I see a sail boat heading out on a beautiful sunny day, it seems like a little piece of paradise.
The real thing almost never beats out imagination. It's easy to forget the day the sail ripped or the day we sailed home in a raging storm with lightening strikes all around us.
Today, I will imagine....and paint about it.
Happy Birthday to my baby girl, Shelly!

Daily Landscape Painting, "A Little Bit Country" 6x8 Oil SOLD
This time I was happy with the results. It's is not a particularly difficult scene. I don't know what caused me so much trouble. All I know is that every nine or 10 months or so, I would give it a try and then wipe it off.

Have you ever had this experience with a specific scene? If so, how did you overcome the challenge?

My dear mother closed her eyes for the last time on April 27th. This is the last post that I had scheduled ahead. I find I need a little more time, so I will not be posting for another week or two. I know you will understand.

Landscape, "Barn on Thomas Valley Road" 6x8" SOLD
When we are in the mountains of North Carolina, we pass this barn on our way to town. It sits between the mountains on the shores of the Tuckaseegee River, on a beautiful little winding road.
I love the rural life style. It reminds me of my childhood in Ohio. I never lived on a farm, but my cousins did and I would visit often. In these fast paced days of rushing from one spot to another, those lazy, hazy days of the past seem very attractive. I am fortunate to get a taste of that life now and then.
Hope you find a peaceful moment or two in your day.
One another note, I was checking my stats to what referring URL's send traffic to my blog and noticed that many of my readers come from one specific blog.......www.CarolMarine.blogspot.com. Carol was kind enough to include me on her blog list several years ago. I know you are all familiar with her work as she is "Queen of Art Blogs" but she is also a wonderful kind woman. So, thank you Carol! If you have not been to her blog today, please stop bye.

Video Tutorial using Palette Knife with Tar Gel by Janice Tingum
A palette knife plays an important role in creating the abstract painting demonstrated in this YouTube video tutorial. I've discovered that the palette knife is the perfect tool for drizzling tar gel onto YUPO synthetic paper. After the tar gel dries, I apply watercolor paints with a brush.
Tar gel is an acrylic medium that holds its shape on the paper. I dip a palette knife into a jar of tar gel and then, holding the knife above the paper, let the gel run off the tip. I quickly move the palette knife back and forth above the the paper so that the gel will form lines and designs on the surface.
This is the painting demonstrated in the painting tutorial:

"Bashful Blooms" Original Oil Tulips Painting by Hallie Kohn
They have every reason to be shy. The morning sun was just waking them up when I snuck up with my camera to capture the amazing light. I think they may even be blushing a bit.

"Monarch on Zinnia" Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn
I remember when I was younger there were monarchs everywhere. It seems they've had a hard time the past few years. Hopefully soon they will be crowding my zinnias like they did a few years ago--every flower with its own butterfly.
"Geraniums" Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn
Geraniums adorn our front step every year. I love them because they just keep flowering and looking good all summer long.
