New Painting: End Of Summer Vacation Beach Painting

I have been wanting to paint this for a while. I guess waiting until Summer is almost over wasn't a bad idea, lol. This is a little boy, with his sailboat, sitting on the beach watching the boats go by. It is the last day of his Summer Vacation, and time to go home. I will be doing a little girl one as well, just not sure when. Monday, is when I usually paint, but we have a 4H banquet, so maybe Tuesday of next week. This would look delightful in a little boy's room, or for anyone who is nostalgic about the beach. You can view, or purchase, in my Etsy shop. Be sure to check out all my other items. Christmas is coming you know.

Do You Know What Your Birthstone Is?

Every month has a birthstone. Many people do not even know what their birthstone is. If you are someone who is nostalgic having birthstone jewelry is a wonderful way to honor a birth and life. The lovely video below tells the birthstones for each month, with exceptional photos of each type of stone. I am a Peridot, and there is a lot of ugly Peridot on the market. I have been lucky enough in my jewelry making endeavors to finally own and wear gem quality Peridot. In its finest form it really is an absolutely lovely gemstone. Enjoy the video, and learn what your birthstone is.
