Oh I do like to be beside the seaside ...
I do like to be beside the sea!!

I have always wished I could paint. Family members can paint, but not me. I long to be able to paint dreamy seasides, awash with pungent greens and dark smudgy blues. I would sit all day in my dream cottage looking out to sea, watching sailboats glide by, fishermen spreading their nets. I'd laugh at the gulls swooping and darting across a dark thunderous sky...
yes I wish I could paint
.
I must admit I did paint something last year which I gave to friends.. It was a seascape. If you let your eyes become all blurry... it was a seascape... if not, it was a pretty blue green streak!! So in the absence of talent, the best I can do is play around with photos I have taken of the sea. I like to imagine I'm painting the smudgy greyish blues and seaweed greens washing across the canvas. I'd also imagine that is my sailboat drifting by.

And when the sun went down, I'd paint the skies with fiery pinks and burnished amber, the swirling clouds dancing in the glow.

I'd wrap it in a bow and give you the gift of the sea
.

Maybe I'll get inspired this summer and try my hand at some painting.
What talent do you wish you had?
