    Lingering Summer Surf

    /

    Never change, stay the same. Lately we’ve been wistful to leave the beach at dusk. Chris is always the last one out of the water. It’s never really a good idea to stay in the water after dark. The water cools down and this is feeding time for sharks. Even though sharks aren’t likely to bite – they don’t like the taste of humans – it’s better not to risk it. Sharks have poor eyesight. Add the low visibility of the murky Gulf and you can’t really be surprised if a shark accidentally chomps you. But the golden hour is the best time for photographs. We don’t have anything else…

    Small Wave Date

    /

    The waves were small today, but the weather made up for it. Lots of longboarders came out, but there wasn’t much more than shorebreak. Early on and mid day Chris and I paddled out and caught some really fun waves together. Same wave <3. Such Party. Chris was walking all over his board, which I love because he puts his hands up like a bird. He also spent some time on the shorebreak, and I got a little closer while I could to fill the camera frame.  The shorebreak trick of the day that everyone was doing was to walk to the end of the board to get it to…

Hello!

Artist and writer in Houston, painting my way through a slower kind of life. Likely By Sea is where the studio spills into everything else — watercolor and process, slow craft, whole-food cooking, coastal days, and the small style-and-living notes in between. Trained as a fine artist; the rest just follows the same eye.
