I want to do a whole series based on our trek last summer on a pontoon boat!   The gorgeous evening was providential.  We were in South Carolina at Brookgreen Gardens, one of my favorite places in the world.  Our family took the 7 pm Creek Trek that they have.  I snapped photos the whole time!  I know everyone on the boat thought I was nuts, but I didn't care!  We don't go many places, and this was my chance.  I took I don't know how many pictures, as many as my trusty little point-n-shoot could handle.  I was sticking my arm way out as not

to capture our sailing vessel.  Thankfully the tour guide didn't tell me to stick my arm back in until the trek was just about over.  I haven't begun any of the paintings until last month, not sure how to paint them all.  I like to think of this first one as rather spiritual, because I was praying for guidance the whole time I was painting.  There is a quietness, a concentration that is required...not having music was tough, but whenever I would turn music on and my concentration went down, I would ultimately have to remove the paint that I put on during that time.
