I tried to paint sunrise and sunset at a beach, when I was fifteen or sixteen. I have no particular talent in painting and I had no technique upon which to draw. I simply wanted to capture the beauty of the scene…

 

Well, the result was swirly and pinkish and not terrible… but our dog Patch (a gorgeous blue heeler) ATE the painting. She was a terrible wallpaper-ripper-offer, too…

 

 

 

Oh well.

 

 

The photos of your sunrise are beautiful and they do remind me of the scene I tried to capture…

 

 

I like to paint and draw too, Countess, but not at the beach, At the beach it is difficult because 1. my beach is very popular with a lot of curious people and 2. there is almost always a bit of breeze, even when the weather is gorgeous.

(I had some art shredded by the tiny beak of a certain parrot that lives with me. Once he even had the audacity to poop on it while flying around. 🤣 Now I have to keep my work away from my little Terminator...)

Hi papermoon.lady

 

You have not posted in awhile and a couple of us were wondering if you are ok?
