Actually I painted this on the second to last day, I didn’t paint on the last day of our vacation. On this morning I set up facing the pretty row of beach houses again. Getting a little braver, I painted on the only 8″x10″ canvas that I brought along. I added the Texas flag, there was actually an OU (University of Oklahoma) flag there which gave me the idea of a flag, but I just couldn’t paint an OU flag since I went to UT (The University of Texas). 🙂 Anyway, the Texas flag has a broader appeal since I painted this one with a future show in mind.
Below is the reason I need to order a wet panel carrier pronto! When it came time to pack, I had to figure out how to get my wet paintings safely into our packed car. The night before we went out to dinner and I asked for an empty to-go container, the waiter looked at me strangely since there was no food left on my plate to put in the container, but it came in handy for a wet 6″x8″ panel and I wish I had asked for another one. In the end, all my paintings made it home safely, it would just be less stress to have a nice wet panel carrier to slide my paintings into!
Had to laugh about the flag!! Also, I love the idea of using to go containers for your paintings! What a great idea.
I like this beach painting, too – especially with the OU flag gone and the Texas flag in its place. Well done!!
I get such the feeling of Galveston and the Texas Gulf Coast. I miss it! The paintings are just lovely, Joan, and congratulations on getting them home safely!
