Dear Imaginary Friends,
How many paintings did I sell in my River Farms show? Sixteen!
The painting below is still available.

Grace Gathering Shells

The above painting is a seascape that was in the show: Grace Gathering Shells.

A tiny little girl is unaware of the large bay behind her. She is totally focused on the bright shiny shells capturing her interest on the beach. She and her dad are reflected in the water beyond. He hovers above her, protecting. Grace is inches from danger, yet because of her father's presence, she is entirely safe. And she knows it.

Dear Imaginary Readers,

Here is a painting that I have been working on for the last 2 weeks, of Grace, the little girl who offered Parker a shell from Lewes Beach.
I love that bathing suit!

"Summer Love, Happens So Fa-ast"

From Grace, to Grease!

Dear Imaginary Friend,

One more time, let us review the budding romance of Parker and Grace, his friend from Lewes, Delaware, who is pictured here offering Parker a shell from the beach. It reminds me of the song from the movie "Grease", starring John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. In one of the opening scenes, the love struck couple, who have met during the summer, sing the duet "Summer Love". And that is the soundtrack in my head, as I gaze upon this cute twosome.

"Those sum-umme-mer ni-ights! So, Grace, isn't he a little young for you? Don't wear high heels on your date, is all I am saying.

Your Imaginary Friend,

Patsie
