We've just returned from a vacation to beautiful Puerto Vallarta. I have hundreds of inspirational photos to work from now :) The sunsets were fantastic! I considered the possibility of becoming a beach vendor just so I could have an excuse to paint that view everyday! Alas, I chose to come back to the beautiful midwest. I actually do love the midwest landscape, especially in fall. Don't be surprised to find a mix of midwest and tropical landscapes on my site though. I just can't pick one over the other! These are just some little palm tree studies that I did in watercolor. I love the way each palm tree has it's own quirky shape!

Ahh... Punta Uva

I love Nebraska with all my heart, but I have posted this painting at a current temperature of -9 degrees outside!  Oh how I love Costa Rica and it's deserted beaches... maybe I will paint more beach scenes so I can dream of warm weather!
