Relaxing at the beach..........

Well school's out and this is the first weekend off for us teachers.......and I had plenty to do....but had to get to the beach this weekend and today Sunday was the day......What a perfect beach day it was.....Went with one of my son's and my hubby John...we went to Asbury Park...and you couldn't ask for a nicer day.........

I always have to bring some of my art supplies to keep me busy...I have trouble sitting still without something to keep my hands busy...

had fun finishing some drawings I did a few months back in this awesome class with

Magaly Ohika.....  I took her Art Free Form Class and had such a great time 

and learned how to have fun when you are sketching......

I was inspired by all of the colorful umbrellas and want to create something with these colorful umbrellas.....

I am so attracted to color and pattern..... and between the  patterned bathing suits and interesting tattoo designs to colorful umbrellas and beach blankets...I was in heaven....

I couldn't put down my sketch book, watercolor crayons or pencils............

I couldn't live with out my water brushes.....they are so wonderful for the traveling artist......if you don't have one you must...here is the  link...http://www.sakuraofamerica.com/Watercolors-Brush

I am totally busy sketching and admiring all the colors and the cool breezes....

hope you got to have some fun this weekend.....thanks for stopping  by....
