Day 14 ~ Beach at Ras Tanura
Many of you probably have no idea where Ras Tanura is, but I spent about 6 years of life there when I was a teen. Ras Tanura is in Saudi Arabia right on the Persian Gulf. The beach there was incredibly beautiful. I remember the ocean being a turquoise color and the sand was so white… Here’s my mini rendition of that beach…

Day 13 ~ Black Sand Beach
I lived on the Big Island of Hawaii for a year in my younger days… The beach that was closest to us was one of the most beautiful and unusual in the world… the Punaluu Black Sand Beach… Thought I would add it to my mini beach series…

Day 9 ~ Lemon Stand at Cinque Terre
Two of my daughters took a backpack trip to Europe a few years back and returned with some fascinating photographs of place I had never seen. I was so intrigued with the five villages along the Italian coast called Cinque Terre, definitely an artist’s paradise. This painting was inspired by a photo they brought home of a lemon stand…

This was the only painting I did before the challenge, just in case I get behind… 🙂
Day 8 ~ Sage and Roses
I love the sage growing in large bushy loveliness outside my kitchen door. I love its unique color, too. This is a still life painting of a small floral bouquet I picked a couple of days ago. The sage is in the center, but those roses pull the attention away for sure…
