Footprints in the Sand

Footprints in the Sand, 16x40, Deep Gallery Wrapped Canvas

Like footprints in the sand at the beach we leave a mark on those lives around us. Some only a short time and others stay awhile. My goal in painting this piece was to share the beauty god has created in our sky, water, and sand. I loved how the sand crunches in the wet and squeaks in the dry.  The sounds, the smells, and the sights.  I know all that could not be "painted" but maybe some of it came through. I hope you feel the love.

"Footprints in the Sand" is a new piece for my up coming show Labor Day Weekend at Baytowne Wharf.  It is a night show in a beautiful setting at Sandestin, FL.  The Art Walk begins Friday night, September 2nd through Sunday, September 4th. Show hours are 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. each evening.

I have quite a bit of new work to share. New Christmas, landscapes, and animal paintings. I hope you will drop by to see me and let me know you receive my blog.  I will be in booth 18.

Upcoming Festival Schedule

16x20 "Trolling for the Big One"

Just a reminder that my next Art Show is in Destin, Florida at Baytowne Wharf on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights from 5:00 to 10:00 p.m. each night, August 29, 30, & 31st.  I will be set up in booth 35.  If you come by trolley, come through the breezeway and turn left and I'll be on your right.  I am happy it is a night festival as it will be cooler for everyone, artists and patrons alike.

Additional dates to note are October 4 & 5th in Fairhope, Alabama for the Grand Festival, November 1 & 2 in Ocean Springs, MS for the Peter Anderson Art Festival and November 29 & 30 in Saint Augustine, Florida for St. Augustine Art Association's Art Festival the weekend of Thanksgiving.

Hope you will come see me at one of these events either in Florida, Alabama or Mississippi.
