<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br />Sometimes a scene will produce a harvest of inspiration. I saw this beautiful field in Cape Charles, Virginia. This town has just been named by Coastal Living Magazine as one of 2018 Happiest Seaside Towns! It is easy to understand why when on every road I see things that are painting worthy such as boats docked, colorful gardens and fisherman in waders.</span><br />

What an honor it was to have my painting style chosen to create this year's poster for the Neptune Festival 2016. As I thought about my motivation for it I wanted to create a work that exuded joy. My hometown has been hosting this amazing festival which brings together art and music at the ocean since I was a young girl. Early on they had a sailing regatta and I always found it the most vivid of images with the sails and all their colors. </div>

I love reading the Bible in the morning and this morning I got the special blessing of reading it with my husband. A psalm and a proverb. The word is alive, which means to me it has impact, conviction, care and comes from God so I trust it coming from love. </div>

Hydrangeas are some of my very favorite old fashioned flowers. I think it is because of the variety of colors they bloom in; but it also is that their bloom time is long and the violet complements every plant that blooms nearby. They are a photo shoot waiting to happen. Last year my late pruned bushes didn't bloom, so I am going to look for the bush called Annebelle because in Southern Living Magazine, the Grumpy Gardener told of it to replace the temperamental varieties!! Check out the other 30 paintings in 30 days on <a href="http://lesliesaeta.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Slices of Life</a>. This is day three and my third painting.</div>
