Because the kids enjoyed being in the water so much during our vacation in August, I had a lot of time to paint and take hundreds of pictures.

The kids were freezing but obsessed with catching waves. I caught them shivering here along with a teal wave.

This painting is created with oil pastels. This new brand is almost creamy and not at all like a chalk or Crayola crayon. They work well on gessoboard and clayboard. And they are easy to paint with while on the road.
