South Carolina Sea Shells

Well, I am officailly back from our vacation. I want you all to know, I did miss blogging and  talking to all of you! We had such a wonderful time in South Carolina. Our lovely cottage on the river was delightful. Due to a big storm, there was no internet and no tv at all. It really was so relaxing and fun. We swam, went to the beach, ate too much BBQ, read books and visited historic sites.

For my Paint Party Friday, I'm showing a watercolor painting I did at an earlier time. It is of my favorite subjects, sea shells and flowers and reminds me of our vacation. I am working on another giant flower painting in class, but just didn't finish it. You'll have to wait till next week.

Hope you will find a relaxing spot this week.
take care, gerri
