In my last post I mentioned my recent trip to Maine.  While there my family and I went on a little boat sightseeing ride out to Petit Manan Island to see some wildlife.  This is a spot for puffins, terns, auks and eiders and as we cruised back we stopped at Eastern Egg Rock Island to see some harbor seals.  Being inspired by these adorable seals, this was the first gourd I worked on when we got back home.

Did you know that July is World Watercolor Month?  This was started by Charlie O'Sheilds of Doodlewash.  So, this post is dedicated to my recent little foray into watercolor.  

At the end of May my family and I took a vacation to coastal Maine and then spent a few days in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.   I knew we would be spending the entire  vacation outdoors, biking or hiking and just enjoying God's creation all around us. This is such a beautiful part of our country and I was also looking forward to working some plein air painting in my little watercolor journal.
