This is the second larger painting of Mirror Lake that I actually began before the smaller one. The reflection in this version is darker than the first one.

Mirror Lake, Yosemite

Mirror Lake, Yosemite I

24" x 18" oil on stretched canvas

This is a smaller one of two paintings I did of Mirror Lake when I visited Yosemite with my husband and friends.

I hope to revisit Yosemite because of its beautiful vistas and scenic trails.

In one of my travels last year, we visited a little French fishing village where Matisse and other painters went to paint called Collioure.

This is a close-up acrylic painting of some very colorful fishing boats sitting at rest.

Grace Bay Beach

Grace Bay Beach
8" x 10" oil on stretched canvas

Blue-green water, beautiful sandy beaches, sunny days and colorful sunsets....

What a wonderful island to visit this year in February with my husband, Don, son, Mike, daughter-in-law, Julie, and two grandsons, Jacob and Max. IGrace Bay Beach is in Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

This vacation was a special birthday treat, and I have decided to paint a series of Caribbean scenes from this vacation. The clouds over the ocean were magnificent and we relaxed watching them change as we sat at the pool. There were also very dramatic sunsets, especially when people on horses walked against these sunsets on the beach.
Eating at beachside restaurants and walking back to our hotel on the moonlit beaches added to the beaufy of this vacation. Since Turks and Caicos is only a three hour flight from Philadelphia, it was a very relaxing, laid back trip.
