Illness has totally thrown me off the 30 in 30 wagon.  Not serious but enough to have me out of commission for a while.  I have been sketching a bit and trying function normally but moving slowly!  I headed to my easel and decide to do a quick sketch of my son and his son. Riley Patrick was born recently and needless to say I am overjoyed!  Painting one of the photos my son and his wife sent makes me feel closer to them.  It made me feel better. ;)

Daddy's Helper - A trip to the beach

Could this painting pull at my heartstrings any more?  This is my son getting a helping hand from his son on the way to the beach.  The wheelbarrow served as a cart for towels, paraphernalia and my grandson when he got tired!  

We spent a week at the beach with the whole family, two sons, two daughter in laws and one grandson along with my husband and myself.  It was a fabulous time.  My grandson loves the water and was absolutely fearless running towards the waves.  So fun to find the wonder and magic of the ocean through his eyes.  Everything was fresh and new.  Memories I treasure.
