Ocean Treasures
Big Sur is probably my favorite place on earth and it was so good to be back.
Our goal for this trip was to spend as much time as we could looking at the sea
and soaking in all of its beauty. I will share some more photos of Big Sur tomorrow.
Today I wanted to share some of the ocean treasures I brought back with me.
I bought these from a little shop at Seaport Village in San Diego.
I have a growing little collection of specimens that remind me of the sea at home.
My favorite is the tiny purple coral I got on this trip.
The color is just amazing and I couldn't resist doing a watercolor study of it.
I also got a sea star, two little mushroom corals and a small sea fan.

I'm originally from Carmel, but I've been living in Mexico for almost 20 years now. Your photo of Big Sur brought back very pleasant memories.
I love the treasures in your treasury. Your talent shines through in your study of the purple coral.
Oh you have been there - one of my dream destinations!!! I studied about it - in the olden days when I was young... at university. And it is on my "must see places" list... Lovely!!! And your collection is simply wonderful!!! Good to have you home though!!!
I LOVE the purple specimen and your study! So gorgeous!
Amazing beauty! Love the water color too! And the birds on the book cover are wonderful!
As before, your work is sharp and fab. Thanks!
