Face of Nature

Beauty surrounds us in all , it is everywhere, land to sea, the ever changing sky is truly beautiful.

I love to go for a walk to the beach, I am blessed to be able to walk there from my home. I am constantly on the hunt for things that I can incorporate into my art creations. The amount of things I find and drag home is crazy. Sometimes I have to go back home for the car or call my husband to come and help me carry the things I have found as its more than I can manage.

Nature is a gold mine to me.

The gentle lapping of the waves, the call of the gulls, the stillness of the soul as you stroll the sea shore.

With some of these wonderful finds I have started to create a series called The faces of Nature.

Two of my granddaughters love to gather treasures for me that they find at the beach. Both of them have brought things like dead dried out fish or shells back home - packed in their luggage, and can't wait to show me once they arrive home.

I will often go for a walk with my 5 year old granddaughter to the beach and she just automatically starts to gather items for me. "Oh Nana look at this , you could use it......

All of my grandchildren love to do art and especially try some new idea I might have.

Dancing Kelp and Eye catching were created with kelp my son and granddaughter found for me and they just knew I would have an idea for it's use. I sure did and with that idea came another. Dance of the Sea Fairies.

Stay tuned for more from the sea.
