Remembering Fiji

So far my plans for posting daily are falling by the wayside. We have been blessed with some beautiful sunny autumn days that have enticed me outside. I was remembering a trip to Fiji, and the shell collectors. I saw these two women talking and laughing and collecting shells early one morning, and later that day they were in the market selling shells to the tourists. It was a lovely day.

This was done with oil bars, not as impressionistic as I would like. But then that is the joy of painting, doing and learning, enjoying the process.

  1. Cissy, I find my plans have fallen by the wayside also, even with weekly painting...the weather is just to nice too discipline myself to even plein air paint!


    This is a very nice painting...these two women look like they are walking with purpose!

  2. Thanks Carol, I really loved doing them, they were so happy as they walked on the beach, and it was fun to see them in the market later in the day. I have answered this several times and it never posted, so I hope this one posts. Also answered you in the pike st. post about the oil bars. Let me know if you got it.
