Every summer Vasthi looked forward to going to the
beach to see big Tobiah. He also looked forward
to seeing Vasthi for he knew that she would
always take care of dental hygiene. After his
four point check up Vasthi would put on a show.

This a 5 x 7 watercolor, titled 'Follow me'. We don't have many sandy beaches in Maine....but we have a lot of rocky ones! These kids are my two boys.
I love all the submissions so far! So much imagination!!!

When you live inland, like I do, sometimes you have to get inventive when you want to go to the beach.
I think if I was coloring this again I would make the cup a warm color. Sometimes I have a hard time with my palette. Oh well, you learn by doing, right?
How whimsical and fun. I love her flowing hair. It feels a tiny bit breezy on that beach I think. Your whale is precious. I think I want to hear the whole story.
What a nice girl to bring a toothbrush and toothpaste for her oceanic friend (I hear whale breath is pretty stinky! hee hee)
I love it! I agree with Mitchowl, it is whimsical and lots of fun! And I love her dancing shadow. It's lovely!
love the colors & she looks so happy to be helping the wonderful pink whale!
I'll be at the beach on vacation for a few days, so hope to have something to contribute!
This is so much fun, Vanessa! I adore the way that you create backgrounds. I love the way the colors mix, and I love how soft they are. And your characters are also so much fun, and you always create such whimsical situations. You're such a wonderful artist!
Fun, fun, fun -- just what a day at the beach should be. I wish I had a friend like Tobiah, waiting for me at the beach!
I agree, lovely composition and colors, Vanessa!
