Antiques

I drove out to Southampton the other day and found this antique shop in the middle of town.
It was a gorgeous warm day and when I finished painting I went down and sat on the beach for a while. Of course the warm weather didn't last and once again it is brutally cold.
This is 8 x 10.

  5. What a lovely shop! I could lost in antique stores like this one. We've had the below zero temps here of late again too. Supposed to snow this weekend but I'm kind of doubtful. I think it might be too cold to snow!

  6. Joan - this looks wonderful...imagine being able to set on the beach...it has been so cold here and now with the warm up...6-12 inches of more snow is on the way - great time for painting for sure! Have a great week-end.
