Sunday Sketches

So this week we had more snow. Oh man, I'm so sick of cold weather and snow. When I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do for Sunday Sketches I thought, "Well if I do the beach, maybe summer will sneak up on us quicker." Don't know if it will but what the heck!

So I started with a quick little sketch. From there I used watercolor pencils. I don 't use them often so it was fun to just play with them.

 I love the beach. When I'm at the beach I love to pick up the shells. I always told my kids that God left us a little treasure on the beach to remind us how much He loves us. One time was on the Beach in Ocean City and a whole bunch of starfish were all over the beach as the tide went out. I spent, I dont' know how much time, tossing them back into the ocean. I often wonder did I save any of them? Oh well, I hope you enjoyed my little Sunday Sketch!

Hi Joann:) Ahh southern weather. I always loved walking on the beach with the wind blowin'. I'll bet you saved some of those star fish. They don't bite or sting huh? I got stung once by a jelly fish.

Lovely Joann, I have found that for me painting shells is very difficult but you seem to have nailed it.

Good afternoon, Joann,
Thank you for including the news about Sopia's father. I will keep them in my prayers.

As you know, we had been stranded in this most recent blizzard, so I am way behind on blog reading and commenting. I hope everything is well with you.

Have a relaxing Sunday ~Natalie
