This original watercolor of a seal pup so captured the heart of a young girl that her dad just had to buy it for her. So happy “Pup of the Sea” has gone to a loving home. I’ll miss you little one! 🙂

On Sun, 6/30, around 3 am (Day 3 of Montauk Art Fair), 4 artists and I had our tents & inventories destroyed by a DWI. Driver has only $25K in property damage coverage. Police report states ca. $150K in damages. Montauk Art Assn has started a GoFundMe to help us. www.gofundme.com/f/assist-mon...

Cold waters are their feeding grounds where they find krill. Warm waters let them give birth safely to their calves who need to build up their fat layers from nursing before heading to their feeding grounds.

I need cheering up. Here's a little something I hope makes you smile. Harbor seal moms are devoted. But. They may abandon their pups to die if you get closer than 150 feet and spook them. So no up-close selfies, ok?

I painted "Sleepy" with watercolors 'cause I needed to smile. Do you adore harbor seals? DYK? All seals need to rest to recuperate and warm up. Moms abandon pups if spooked; pups can die.

Call NOAA's Emergency line (800) 853-1964 to report if anyone is closer than 150'. #marinelife #harborseals

Sending a little beauty your way in this turbulent crisis. Don’t give up hope. Never, ever give up.

Another new painting for the show. “Gimme Shelter” - more than ever I feel like I need a safe harbor. Soft pastels | 15” x 10”. I’m doing my best to create a calm space. How are you feeling today? What can you do to feel safe and calm today? #calm #stormyday #shelter #originalart #contemporaryart

Getting ready for an upcoming juried art show. New work titled “Take Shelter” — expresses how I’ve been feeling lately. #art

Here’s what I created today instead of watching the 💩 show going on in Washington. What did you create?

I love humpback whales - do you? They are such incredible souls. Living along the Central Coast of California for so many years gave me incredible access to seeing them often. Here is “Gentle Giant,” my original soft pastel painting — I simply had to paint this one breaching. #addOcean
