By The Sea

 Happy Friday everyone! Its good news here in the US as many people have a long Labor Day weekend ahead.  Summer's last hurrah is what some people say about this weekend. All I can say is that the first full week of school has left me exhausted and I am ready for a little R and R.  (New kids to meet, a new schedule to get used to, lots of meetings and organizing, getting up a couple hours earlier than I did all summer...back to school is always so busy.)

So last week I was busy and didn't get to join in at  Paint Party Friday, but I am back this week with a couple of journal pages for you. My summer journal is literally so thick it isn't laying flat, so I apologize if the photos look a little lopsided.

This top page was all hand sketched and painted. Then I used some watercolor pencils to add in the details. I originally cut the boat, the building and the rocks out of a book page, and then I painted them and added in the details.
And this other journal page began with this photo I took. Then I painted in the base of the rocks and some water around it. I really wanted to use the photo on this page because although I have been to this lighthouse many times, I never had visited it from the water side. It was very exciting for me to see it from another view, and I wanted to record that moment.

That's all for this post today. I have a second post today for  Elizabeth's fun monthly post Second on the Second .  Hope you stop by and check  out round two for some fun  second view posts. Maybe you'll even show some of your art from past posts too. 

Have a great weekend everyone.
