To the sea!

The man-friend and I are off to the shore. I am so excited! I am completely enamored with the sea and the man.

Here are some gorgeous Maggi Hambling paintings to celebrate!

Helen and James.

Here are two of my painter crushes. I am sure you will see why. They can be your painter crushes too - I can share :)
