As I type this I’m sitting the living room of my Aunt & Uncle’s condo in North Palm Beach.  To say it is beautiful would almost be an understatement.  The rooms are spacious and carefully decorated, with accents of blues and greens that complement the ocean.  The ocean that is literally just outside.  They have a lovely deck that wraps around nearly the entirety of the apartment, and the large glass doors and windows that lead to the balcony look right out on the waves.  I’m sitting on a comfy couch and feeling the ocean breeze on my face and hearing the waves and looking through the glass onto the gorgeous turquoise water.  This is so brilliant it should be imaginary.

I came down partially to drive down their BMW convertible (I know, what a chore), and partially to transport the series of Florida bird paintings they’ve commissioned for this house.  I’ve completed three 24″ x 36″ paintings, and will perhaps do more.  But for now, here is the completed series:
