Post 330: Cardinal Day Spa

Painting Name: Cardinal Day Spa

I recently went to Rehoboth Beach and Lewes, Delaware with a friend of mine for a couple of days. We stayed to the Avenue Inn and Day Spa and had a wonderful time including 5 o'clock happy hours, walking around Rehoboth and over the sand to the water, and partaking of facials and massages, seafood, and relaxing.

SKU: 10EH23AC

Medium: Acrylic

Size: 8x8 Stretched Canvas

What Brought About this Painting?

Sometimes you just picture a painting in your head and start drawing it then throwing color at it according to your vision. A cardinal (or any bird, really) taking a bath is a funny thing to watch as they cautiously approach their chosen day spa spot, then shake, rattle, and roll, tossing water everywhere. They stretch their feathers and wings and wiggle their bodies, throwing water all about. Then quickly, leap out of the water and fly off to preen for a few minutes before they go about their business of food finding once again.

So out of the Avenue Inn and Day Spa and the beach, somehow I got to a bird bath painting. Was it the pool? The hot tub? Who knows. But when I got home, this is what I painted.

Rehoboth Beach

But I did go to Delaware from Sunday to Tuesday, October 22- 24, 2023. A little cool especially in the morning, but it was certainly a beautiful couple of days. And notice hardly anyone was on the boardwalk!

This painting of the beach in Lewes, Delaware is no longer available, it has been sold.

This is the third version of the Lewes Delaware Beach of this painting with the sand dunes and boardwalk that I have painted. Everyone wants to be THERE - at the Beach!

And this is my friend, Aysen, next to the painting in its new home!

This is when it was nearly final, I think I can finish it up tomorrow, and the completed one will show above. The first one below is when I started it this morning (during the snow).

And this is the pretty close to final this evening. The light will be so much better in the AM to do any touch ups/details.

I do like painting this beach scene - even if it is the third time!! I'm very thankful, I think they turn out a little different each time - and that's ok

Post 1: Donna's Cave Painting First Post - Beach in Lewes, Delaware 24 x 36 Acrylic (SOLD)

Donna's Cave Painting First Post

Hello, welcome to my blog. My first post...which photo of my artwork to use? Of course! What I consider my best thus far that I have a known record for anyway.

This was painted as a gift for a friend who had purchased a vacation home in Lewes, Delaware in 2016. She had purchased a canvas and was going to try to paint something herself and I asked if I could do something for her. I hadn't painted on canvas in quite awhile so here is the result. 

Kinda cool when you can surprise yourself and I think I did here. I like to take a photo (or have someone give me a photo of what they would like to have, and paint it 'similarly' as much as possible (and embellish as I like too). I use acrylic paints although I have used oil some in the distant past. Maybe one day I will try oils again - we shall see.

To sell or not to sell? I've given most things I have done away to family/friends and even had a paint business (WallDreams) at one point and time. I loved painting murals on walls and trompe l'oeil  and textured effects. A lot of fun. Those tend to be rather difficult to take with you when you move or do for someone.

Doing the research on how best to "set up a business to sell your artwork" hopefully locally. So yes, hope to sell some pieces. Building up some inventory now and will post them as they are finished. 

Here is the painting. Your reading and comments are appreciated.
