I found a very inexpensive Walter Foster book showing 60 color reproductions of Frederick Waugh's paintings for 7$ on ebay.   Here are just a few of these photos.  The book does not go into how Frederick Waugh painted these seascapes.  It would be an excellent book as a reference for an artists working on seascapes.  We are expecting Hurricane Earl here in Maine Friday night.  There may be a few large waves finally!









     Tomorrow should be cooler so I should be able to paint again!  It was 94 degrees.  I couldn't leave Daisy and Duke in the house without an AC.  I took them to Sears Island.  This time I put on a swimsuit, grabbed a towel, and my itouch!  I read a book not about art!  I had to keep an eye on Daisy and Duke roaming all around the beach.  Duke was looking for frogs in the ocean all day again.  Poor dog. 

     Daisy would run up to ladies on the beach.   She would walk with them all the way down the beach.  Then she would return to me.  Boony, a dog with black and white spots, was there today.  Daisy and Duke let him drink out of their water bowl.  They were happy to see this dog.  In the Winter we run into Boony taking his walk.  

     I really enjoyed just sitting at the beach for hours today.  It was cooler!  Maybe it is good to take a small break from painting to absorb things I have learned!  Get out and paint!  I hope too!
