Sunshine On My Shoulders Makes Me Happy at Indian Rocks Beach

My day by: Mary Rose Holmes Early morning sunshine, the birds are singing and the waves are gently lapping on the shore. I toss my flip flops and walk along the warm sand to my commissioned painting for today. I have picked up a steaming hot cappucino from the Lighthouse. I unfold the legs of my French easel and work begins. My pallette of colors I have already squeezed out and organized. I absolutely love what I do. This is a charming home, full of love and attention. The minutes turn into hours and before I know "Little Bear" my dog has arrived to tell me that it is lunch time. I am happy with my painting. What do you think? Life is wonderful here on the Gulf of Mexico in one of the most beautiful beaches on the World.

Where Life is Beautiful - Indian Rocks Beach

The rains arrived yesterday and washed and groomed the streets. It watered plants, sea grass and thirsty annuals. Plein Aire painting is very much on our minds and masterpieces are being created daily. Bespoke, or in other words, commissioned paintings are taking much of our time. A commissioned painting allows the owner to have a one of a kind, unique piece of art. Original art brings energy and life to a home, just like fresh flowers. Sadly silk flowers, prints and gicleees lack this energy. An art collection can start in a small way. We recommend one original piece to start and then collect and add as ones budget allows. The Plein Aire Cottage Artists will be delighted to consult in the planning and hanging of artwork.
