Well it won’t be long now and we’ll be back on Cape Hatteras Island till next November. Obviously thinking about it, I had pictured my husband Mitch enjoying his fishing at the sound. It’s where he like to go to fish if it’s just a bit too windy on the beach to surf fish. I can’t tell much difference with the wind, but he say’s there is a big difference as far at the fishing goes. With all this said, I painted my vision of him on the Island.

/ February 7, 2012No more surf fishing Miami public beaches. I can understand when crowded but on cold days in Jan and Feb when beach empty- why not? Since rest of beach front private property , well just go to grocery store from now on.
Deb
/ February 7, 2012That’s why we don’t go to Florida, Carl…too many rules. But Hatteras is getting a few of their own these days, and in no time at all, it will be the same as where you are.
Binky
/ February 7, 2012Really? That sounds unnecessarily restrictive.
Deb
/ February 7, 2012We use to be able to fish for free on the beach, and why not, nature stocks the sea. Now it requires a fishing license. Their next feat is to charge people to drive on the beach.
Binky
/ February 8, 2012Or charge people to breathe! Fishing used to be free here for residents, but that was changed about 20 years ago.
Deb
/ February 8, 2012Really!….It’s all about the almighty buck.
Sue Dreamwalker
/ February 7, 2012Love this Deb, so love the reflections on the water and the way you have merged the water and skyline.. you have a wonderful gift … How long did this take to paint ?? ~Sue
Deb
/ February 7, 2012Thinking back, I would say about a whole afternoon. I think I started it in the evening and finished the next day in the late afternoon.
Not too hard to achieve the sky and water merge. Choose the color for the sky, bring it down to the water (not usually recommended except on a overcast day). Paint the land in where desired, paint the same, if possible under that land, put in a water line between the land and the refection. Put in the bridge, drop in the person, paint in the foreground.
I’m glad you like this one, Sue…has special meaning since the person in the painting represents my husband.
Thanks for commenting!
Hugs, xx
Binky
/ February 7, 2012Sure, SIMPLE!
Deb
/ February 8, 2012Well it is easier than is sounds…really.
Hugs, xx
Binky
/ February 8, 2012When you have talent!
Deb
/ February 8, 2012Oh as if you don’t!…Ha!
Ras Alonso
/ February 7, 2012I love this painting and the water color and the evening skies…great job 🙂
Also the reflection in the water is great. I would love to try painting but thats way out of my turf at the moment. Thanks for sharing 🙂 Oh and I am working on a cartoon character section as you suggested but its the colors that is giving me a problem. Black and white is my thing but cartoon characters needs color. I am planning to draw all my favorite cartoon and comic characters from I was a kid.
Deb
/ February 7, 2012That great, Alonso. It’s great when we can do things we love to do. Drawing your favorite cartoon comic characters ought to bring you years of enjoyment.
You keep working on that color from time to time…it will pull together for you…promise.
Thank you for the lovely comment about my painting! and the plug.
Hugs, xx
Ras Alonso
/ February 8, 2012You’re welcome and thanks to you as well.
Deb
/ February 8, 2012No trouble, Alonso!…my pleasure.
Binky
/ February 7, 2012I like the reflections and the clouds, too, and I like the way the trees in the background seem slightly out of focus.
Deb
/ February 8, 2012That out of focus trees was my attempt to make them look far away.
Thanks Bink!
Hugs, xx
Soma Mukherjee
/ February 7, 2012What a beauty Deb you always capture the life in every painting….I loved the way water blends with sky on the horizon so magical when the two on either side of the shore tease our dreams and give a hope that the twain shall meet 🙂
Deb
/ February 7, 2012Thank you, Soma! It’s always so beautiful the way you describe my work, and I love it!
Hugs, my sweet friend!

/ February 7, 2012Even though I have drawn the lighthouse tens of thousands of times, I’ve never had the pleasure of actually visiting CH. I would love to do so in the future.
Deb
/ February 8, 2012Then I recommend you take the time to visit there…Let me know if you head out that way in the summer months.

/ February 7, 2012I LOVE it!! What a beautiful peaceful scene!! I want it on my wall in the living room!

/ February 8, 2012Very good Debs! 🙂
It reminds me of those old sepia photographs, kind of cold and autumn-like… 🙂
Love and hugs!

/ February 8, 2012Thanks for sharing your gift, Deb … and what a gift you have … your illustrations and painting are simply amazing! I will be looking around your art and offerings more as time goes by. Speaking of time, I’ve got to go for now. Wishing you well, my friend … Love, cat.
Deb

Bo Lumpkin
/ February 8, 2012The Painting is beautiful but bein’ the redneck that I am I’m interested in the fishin’. I never have done any salt water fishin’ but I’ll bet is fun.
Deb
/ February 8, 2012It’s more fun on the surf than in the sound I think. But the sound is more peaceful like a lake.
Thanks for the lovely comment on my painting, Bo!
Hugs, xx
Bo Lumpkin
/ February 8, 2012One day I hope to be able to paint like that.
Deb
/ February 8, 2012You just keep practicing and you will get there….Keep in mind, Bo, that these are digital paintings. You ought to give it a try one day when you have a larger screen than your phone to work with…Let me know when you do, if you do and I will send you a link to download a digital painting program for you.
Thanks, Bo…for visiting as you do, and the nice comment about art!

Raven of Leyla
/ February 8, 2012It looks like such a beautiful place to be to fish or just enjoy nature. What a lovely life you and Mitch must share. Of course now with Tink, Dink and the sweet star Cici, it must be very much filled with love and laughter too! LOL
I was born in an old mining town which no longer exists as the big Copper mine Co. took it over 😦 but it was called…Dinkyville, yep I thought Dink might find that interesting 😀
smiles,
Rx
Deb
/ February 8, 2012Dinkyville?…Are we related or something. I mean we have so many things is common. Not that I came from Dinkyville, but I have a Wombie called Dink, aka Dinky, as you already know.
Mitch and I have a wonderful time when we go to the beach in the summer months. Cici loves it, and I’m sure she misses it. And now, Dink and Tink.
It’s a shame that the big copper mine took over Dinkyville.
Thanks for the comment on my painting, Raven!

frigginloon
/ February 8, 2012Hmm, just wondering how many imaginary fish your hubby caught 🙄
Deb
/ February 8, 2012Lots! He imagines every day he goes fishing of the fish he’s going to catch…lol
Hugs, xx
Jb
/ February 8, 2012I would love to have one of those lakes in my front yard. I would spend all my summer afternoons on it drowning a worm or two.
Deb
/ February 8, 2012That be alright now wouldn’t it…but the house has to be on high ground.
Hugs, xx
Jb
/ February 9, 2012I was wondering are you doing all these paintings on canvace or the computer?
Deb
/ February 10, 2012As of late I have been working with digital painting on the computer. I sort all my works in categories, you can find in the navigation bar above or in the side bar where is says “Mediums, ” if you want to view them separately.
Vampire Weather
/ February 8, 2012This reminds me of vintage photography in a very lovely way. Well done!
Deb
/ February 9, 2012I like the sound of that!…Thank you!
Hugs, xx
Tony McGurk
/ February 9, 2012Caught me on this one Deb, again. At 1st I thought it was a photo. I should know by now they are always paintings. Excellent work & it looks like a great fishing spot
Deb
/ February 9, 2012It is…He even has a few secret fishing holes.
That was quite a compliment on my painting, Tony!….Thank you!
Tony McGurk
/ February 10, 2012There’s been a few like that that at 1st glimpse were very photograhic looking.
Robert @ Fridge Magnet often catches me like that too with some of his non photo artwork too
Deb
/ February 10, 2012I know just what you mean. I go to Robert’s site and I can’t tell if it’s artwork or a photo…He’s really good.
Thanks Tony!
Hugs, xx
Pee Ess See if you can find out where Michelle got that blue tee with the white trip on the sleeves for Angus…It looks comfy on him.
Eve Redwater
/ February 9, 2012What a stunning view!
Deb
/ February 9, 2012Thanks you, Eve!…We can’t wait to get back their for the spring and summer, but we won’t leave her till our little Cici is done with her shot in 5 weeks, and gets a clean bill of health.

/ February 9, 2012Ciekawa kompozycja i wspaniałe kolory…… 🙂
Deb
/ February 9, 2012Ah yes, it is interesting. There is no place I’ve ever been that is like Hatteras.
Thank you Andreas!

Sabina Brave
/ February 9, 2012Beautiful picture. I like that style of old photography. 🙂
Have a wonderful day Debbie 🙂
Hugs,

Deb
/ February 9, 2012Not a picture, but a painting. I think the colors I used gave may have given it that look.
Have a most wonderful day, Sabina!
Hugs, xx
spilledinkguy
/ February 9, 2012My fishing skills are very lacking, but with scenery like that, I could go all day without a bite and be a happy camper (or fisherman)!
Beautiful, Deb… this might be one of my new favorites! Of course, pretty much every time I stop by I find a new favorite, you know.
🙂
Deb
/ February 9, 2012That is very sweet of you to say so, Sig.
With all the places you like to visit you must put Cape Hatteras on your list. If you need to unwind, this is the place to go. The beaches are not over-crowded like most. You can drive on the beach, the fishing is great and there is water all around the place being an Island of course.
It really warms my heart that you find my artwork that good, Sig…Thank you!
Hugs, xx

You’ll have to swing by my guestbook and tell me all about how your studies and class went from when you were revising.

/ February 12, 2012I really like the color you have chosen for this. It looks so peaceful

beautifulchaos2
/ February 13, 2012This painting is beautiful, your husband must love it!
It must be so cool to live between two different places during the year, I imagine it keeps life far more interesting. The most I manage to get away in a year is a couple short vacations, and some weekends away…that type of thing, and each time I get home I feel like the vacation was far too short, so do you feel like each place is somewhat like a vacation away? Big hugs to you hon xo
Deb
/ February 13, 2012He loves the painting representing him fishing, and he loves the place for sure.
It keeps in interesting, but it would be easier if we could just live there all year. We enjoying going there very much and feel like you do when vacation time is over with…too short.
I’m really glad you like the painting!
Love and Hugs, Deb xx
Oceanwaves
/ February 13, 2012Beautiful vision Deb! wow you go there for vacation..and I thought you already have vacation where you live 🙂
You big lucky duck!!
Have a great week you..much love and also to Cici.
Hugs Tracey
Deb
/ February 13, 2012Yes, we have a 5th wheel parked down there. We’d like to sell here and move there, but we’ll have to see what times brings.
We’ve been blessed for the last few years now. We will enjoy it while it lasts.
Love and Hugs, Deb xx
