This was a fun painting with the Harbour Town lighthouse in the background. This is a fishing spot I have fished for years and I sold it to someone who has also enjoyed this spot.
Free Printables by the Paper Coterie.
I think these are adorable. They would be cute and a great reminder to have on the wall to stay positive. I'm going to put one in my daughters room. Thanks Paper Coterie. Go to their site to download yours.

Red Stinky Mushroom
If you ever see one of these suckers in your yard get it out pronto. My husband and I kept smelling something horrible and thought an animal had died nearby or something but it was a few of these guys. I guess they are called stinkhorn fungi and boy do they smell bad.
Tile Envy
I am dying over these amazingly beautiful hand glazed terra-cotta tiles by Tabarka Studio. I can only imagine how much they cost ( it doesn't say any prices on their site). They do however give me lots of painting ideas and possible ways to repaint some terra-cotta hexagon tiles I have in my future home. Swoon!
Artist love: Katherine Fraser
I found artist Katherine Fraser on ETSY. Her paintings are dark and moody and full of emotion. The subjects seem to have a spotlight on them despite their surroundings. Just beautiful. See more of her work here.
Practicing patience
I have been anxiously awaiting news about our short sale house. It's killing me. I'm not a real patient person so this below is my new mantra. We will see how it goes.

New Redfish Painting.
I had fun with this little Redfish painting. I used a little tribal pattern I whipped up. I have so much fun doing paintings when I don't have to be so serious and can let loose a little. You can find it in my ETSY shop.
Matt Beard Surf Art
A little eye candy from Matt Beard. His paintings have such a warm, soft feeling that I love. Check out his site for more.
DVF For Roxy Collection
The latest fashion designer to jump on the surf train is Diane Von Furstenburg. Her collection is very colorful and graphic. I love the zip up rash tops. But my favorite thing in the collection is the fin. Fins are like jewelry on a surfboard and a way to express your style not to mention the performance of your board. Go check it out over at Roxy.
House Hunting.
I hope that I soon will be hearing those magic words"you got the house" and then I can breathe a little easier. My husband and I have found a home that we can't wait to get our hands on. I'll keep you posted.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
The fam. and I just got back from Orlando for a little fun. We went to Sea World and Animal Kingdom and had a blast. Its been a long time since I have been able to ride a few roller coasters and I loved it. I can't wait to ride more.
I got this Idea for my daughters Valentine for school from Pinterest. I loved how it turned out. I would have liked to have had time to glue it to a heart or something but that's all I could get done. I wish you a great day full of love.
XO,
Carin

Tarpon Painting
I know what you're thinking. Another tarpon? I have an addiction. I'm obsessed. I really like this version. I'm thinking of doing a series of fish like this. I had a lot of fun doing it. Check it out at my etsy shop.
The MAC is back!
We finally got our mac back after weeks of botched recall technicalities. You sure realize how much easier life is with a 27"screen computer. The i pad gets old very quickly. Well, needless to say I have been busy painting. I have had a dose of tarpon madness around here. I have been feeling like life is too short to play it safe and not paint freely and have fun. Sometimes staring at an empty expensive canvas forces you to "play it safe". I started to do a few paintings on paper to loosen myself up a little and it seems to be working. They will be up in my Etsy shop soon. I have another wild one in the works that I'm excited about I just need to finish it up. I'll keep you posted.
Adios!
Adios!
Fresh Starts
I love beginning a new year! I always find myself cleaning and rearranging the furniture, you know "mixing it up a little". I have a few new paintings in the works. Sometimes I like to work on a painting and live with it for a little while and almost always I will find something that needs a change. Its amazing how looking at something with fresh eyes can give you a whole new perspective.
