Surfboards at Sunrise

I finally got it together and painted again.  It's been close to 6 months since I've picked up a brush and I'm not entirely sure why.  The painting room was mess for a while and I didn't paint because I can't paint in chaos, but I still didn't paint once it was cleaned up.  Nothing really sparked my interest long enough for me to actually get set up & paint.

I took a trip to the Carolinas a few weeks ago and took some fun pictures. I was browsing through them last week and FINALLY one just screamed to be painted.  It took a while to get back into the groove of it so the painting's pretty rough. But I'm happy with it simply because it got me painting again.

Surfboards at Sunrise (12 X 24)

The playlist for this one had to have at least one song from Jason Mraz because he's the reason I went to North Carolina in the first place but I also wanted to include songs that are current faves. I stumbled upon the music of Kris Orlowski because he followed me on Twitter. Whatever it was that made him hit that follow button is my good fortune because I've been listening to Mountains on repeat for quite a while now.  Check him out if you like folk pop music!
