205 Stay Away

While we were in Old Town Bluffton, we were drawn to this cute little fishing shack, built on an inclining bridge.  These folks made it very clear that they did not want visitors with their signs and numerous barriers.  Much as I tried, I could not get a head on photo of it. 

117 One Bud Left

I think I can eek out one more painting from of these lilies.  :)

Last of 4: Purple Bell Pepper

 This is the fourth of the quadruple pepper paintings.  Please refer to my blog for the composite picture of all four paintings.

The four paintings are just resting ( a little off kilter) in a frame I have on hand.  The inside of the frame is made of fabric that Velcro sticks to.  It would be perfect for these paintings.  Let me know if you are interested.

3rd of 4: Yellow Bell Pepper

Third in a series of 4 peppers.  They look very nice in a grouping for the kitchen.
