Quinby Landscape

HI, yesterday I went up to Onancock. The Tall Ship,the Sultana, had arrived the night before.Here's a photo of it. Next weekend many Tall Ships will arrive in Cape Charles,Va.,this is 30 miles south and there will be a Tall Ship Festival.The following weekend I think they will be in Norfolk,Va. I'll be showing my artwork on Saturday in the Tall Ship Festival at Cape Charles.

I've painted and finished my little landscape pictured with it I have 2 photos of the Quinby bridge one I took years ago(top) and one last week(right side). I have 3 more commissions to finish,one of tulips and 2 angry chickens. The chickens are taking off. (Sorry I couldn't help myself!! Ha HA) Hope you have a wonderful weekend. I hope to rest some,I'm still tired from last weekend. Take care,Diana

Turtle Visits

HI,today was an errand day. I had to go up to the Hermitage and deliver 2 paintings for the summer display. The Hermitage is a very nice nursing home here on the Shore. Then I went over to Quinby to get some photos of the bridge buildings. I have a commission and I needed to check out everything. It was raining and I stopped the car mid road and leaped out and took photos until I saw another car coming. :)  I even left the car door open. ha ha. I was just a few minutes and there was no traffic. I came home and have been working on my little landscape. The rain is soft and gentle just what we need for the gardens and fields.  A good day to stay home and paint..well what day isn't a good day to paint. talk to you soon,Diana --ps.. I had a visitor coming down the driveway a delightful turtle so I went out and got some photos of him. He turned and headed into the trees.
