St. Thomas..Virgin Islands and Caribe Lager.........

The sun, the sand, the beer........A few years ago the Parker Clan went on a great Caribbean Cruise. We drank some beer and enjoyed the beaches. I think my daughter Meg took this picture......Thanks Meg.......takes me right back. The only thing missing is the lime. 

Dang it.....missed Day 26 AND Day 27.....my bad......Here is Day 28....

Yesterday I went shopping to the city and missed the smell of my oil paints! But had a great time getting pedis and manis with my Guate amigas!!! We tried a new restaurant and salon all in one day.
So back to painting today.Yikes...only 29, 30 and 31 left. I have really learned a lot since starting this challenge..don't get freaked out or...TRY not to get freaked out about the little details. Slap it on and move on. I have learned something from each one of these paintings........I need to continue:) Cause there is lots more for me to learn!

Day 25

Lago Ayarza in Guatemala was the subject for Day 25. The sun was shining on this beautiful crater lake when we drove around the rim and I took this photo. The sides are very steep...yikes. For those who want to know...Wikipedia says, "The lake is a caldera that was created some 20,000 years ago by a catastrophic eruption that destroyed a twinned volcano and blanketed the entire region with a layer of pumice. The lake has a surface area of 14 km² and a maximum depth of 230 m. The lake has a surface elevation of 1409 m." Regardless it is beautiful!

Day 24 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days......Mojito

What is better in the summer time....or anytime really...than lime, rum and mint. I am calling this one Mojito.........yummmmm. I have a little mint plant I have managed to keep alive just for this purpose:) 

Day 23...Can You See Me Now?

My grand daughter took this picture of her dog.....Romeo. It cracks me up... He couldn't get close enough!!! 

Black and White Photo Challenge

The challenge this week was to take the black and white photo and colorize it. Some creative entries. I spent about half of the total time painting this getting the eye just right. Max had to be intently staring at something out the window.
