Moving Away and Letting Go

I used to think of myself as adventurous, now I'm not as sure. 

With my husband coming up on his 2nd retirement we find ourselves in a great location that we have grown to love here on the Chesapeake Bay.  

So we have sold the house, sold the sailboat, daughter graduated and son is taking on new career.
We are moving to Michigan where pretty much most of my family lives.  

It WILL be an new adventure just a bit scarier...(maybe because I keep thinking of longer Winters)!

While recently at a family reunion,  ALL the cousins were very excited and welcoming that we are coming "HOME".  I was happy when they warmly included my husband in on all the exciting stuff we will get to do.... and just being around family. Yay!!

Now for the letting go part.

I would like to sell some of my favorite Chesapeake Bay inspired art!  Some of the pieces are large and am willing to LET GO at a VERY, VERY good deal.  If you are interested please send me a message at nadonay@aol.com

"Reflections of a Colorful Buoy" 4 x 12 Oil  

Original Sold but Giclee print is available

Here is yet another crab pot buoy painted from photo while we were sailing last fall in the Chesapeake Bay.  The colors on this one were so vibrant! It was the same day as the little bird below...with no wind it was bad for sailing but excellent for shots and nice reflections on the water.

On a sort of side note my "Bird on a Buoy" got juried in the Annapolis Arts Alliance show going on now at the Maritime Museum, Annapolis through May 18.

About the painting:  Husband and I went out for an evening sail.  Bad news was that there was absolutly NO wind when we got out onto the Chesapeake Bay.  Good news was that all the reflections in the water were especially bright.  So being the sweet husband I have, he manuvered the boat close to a bunch of crab pot buoys.  I started snapping pictures ... well this little bird was posing for me and so here he is!
