Thank you for visiting my page and leaving me a comment.  You have beautiful work and are prolific.  We are sort of in the same boat.  I just retired from a career in teaching and am pursuing the art now, which is what I wanted to do all along.  I saw one movie with Jim Carrey from Rhode Island.  It looked very pretty there.  We are on opposite corners.  I am in San Diego County.  I have lived in SoCal my entire life. I have never been to New England and hope to visit some day.  It is fun to see the people from everywhere and imagine the life in that part of our beautiful country.  I have seen some snow on the news these past two days (Ohio), and it was 80 here yesterday.  It is supposed to cool down by the weekend, though.

Thank you for the nice comment. I will be adding more paintings but right now i'm playing " nurse" to my brother who just had his shoulder replaced, and I can't access the photos of my paintings from his computer.

Happy painting, Alston

I relate very strongly to your still lifes-you seem to be multi-directional in your motifs-not easy to do. Thank you for your comments.

Hi Neighbor,

I see some places that I've frequented in the past with my watercolor pad.Tell me,... how is life post nursing career?- I'm setting my sights on early retirement myself as long as my painting career picks up- one day at a time- every Friday brings me that much closer to the leap of faith. Keep up the nice work --- Regards  cldmonet

Thanks for the note about the train.  Your work reminds me of my short life in France.  About second careers, I think that's why I'm here. I'm just so thrilled to be able to communicate with other people who feel the same way and have the desires.  First that I'm not crazy, and secondly, that I'm not too old to get started.  Thanks again, Seagirl Rebecca
