Thanks Rose. Summer will be here June 21 but beach weather in NC was warm and sunny last weekend when I found 2 pieces of green Sea Glass, 2 broken Shell pieces, and this Driftwood base that I put together to make a "Fantail Goldfish" (you need a wild imagination to see it lol).

I took this pic of my Fantail Goldfish Art and a pic of my daughter while toasting with our Mimosas at Moonrakers in Beaufort NC. She treated me for my Birthday the whole 3-day weekend. The background doesnt show the view behind me of beautiful boats on the Sound, wild horses on the island, and the sunset. A couple of private party boats went by with their music turned up and all dancing and drinking on deck (eek, in one boat they were standing almost shoulder to shoulder...one bump and over they would've gone...without life jackets on:

Thank you Rose. Oh wow! The turtle reminds me of my "Butterfly Beach Art" when I was visiting my CA daughter for Christmas and I put together this butterfly from a shell and a beach rock.

It was a no-brainer but I was proud of it anyway lol.

I took these before and after shots with my iPhone. The other pieces were all found the same day on two separate beaches:

Hi Marci! It's so crazy that you asked that just now. I put it on the back burner and never got to it but just today, a few hours ago, I started looking for that photo in my files because I finally want to paint it! Then just minutes ago I saw it here in this thread and was overjoyed to find it. Then just now you posted this question asking if I ever painted it! Out of all the things I've posted long ago in these forums and we're both on the same wavelength at the same time. That's amazing! I've posted hundreds of images and we both thought of this one.
 
I'm going to have to do this in your honor Marci...but it might be awhile. I'm selling my house and just finished downsizing so all my art supplies are packed away in the garage so I could stage my house. Grrr. I just want to play but life calls. As soon as my house sells and I find a house to buy at the beach I will unpack and get right on it. I look so forward to that day!

Now I'm under pressure to remain on the site so I better behave myself. LOL
