Howdy, I'm Mary Ann Moss, the chimp at the helm of this ship. I've been blogging right here since 2007 and exploring the world & driving getaway cars since 1963.

Justin Bieber? Justin Timberlake? haha – Who was that on the beach!?
Mary Ann Moss says
none other than mary’s son, justin, who often runs barefoot on the beach – he goes to college nearby

I LOVE how simplistic and spontaneous your seascapes are. So many times, although beautiful, that subject is overdone and rather boring. Way to go! ?
Vicki in Michigan says
Love *everything* in this post.
I think my fave has to be the clamshell on the just-barely-see-through purple covering up a page on painting/poetry!!!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!! So perfect, so … hard to find???
I was loving that clamshell (love those white lines on it…………..) before I noticed the background, and when I read through the purple…………. Swooning.

Loving the clam paintings. Heck I love all the paintings. Ready for the beach but heading to the mountains!!
Sabrina says
Those seascapes are amazing, I love how you managed to nail down the mood and the colors without bothering about details!
Stella says
Lovely lovely lovely. Oh! Those seascapes! Rushing to my journal right now to try similar. You are so inspiring, Mary Ann.
Rosemary Peltier says
I have to tell you that I have become more aware of the beauty around me since reading your posts. Nothing as exciting or as pretty, but spring has sprung and every bush and shrub is blooming. I’m starting to take pics. just for myself now to go into my journal. I loved all your posts about your recent trip. How lovely. Thank you for sharing.

Clam shell 6 is too cool! Love it! Beach landscapes too have me longing to spend some time in the Santa Barbara area — but only after I have made it to sea glass beach! I’ve been trying to get there since you first logged about it. (My sister is on a trip right now to No. CA and Oregon and one of her assignments — the only one from me — is to check out sea glass beach as a possible site for us and our two girl cousins to have a reunion. We are 75, 72, 72, and 69, so we shouldn’t put it off much longer!

Mary Ann is rockin’ the gouache!! I imagine the seascapes as postcards. They would be fun to reproduce on good sturdy card stock. And the clams I see as a fabric design. So much of your work would be marvelous fabric, Collier & Campbell marvelous.
Mary Ann Moss says
thank you!!! gearing up for my gouache class which i’ll start filming on saturday 🙂

Neat new kicks there, Mary Ann. The seascapes are wonderful, as is everything else, and that purple leaf plant with the water drops is luscious. What kind of pudding?
sharon chapman says
WARNING WARNING NEW SHOES wow! They will see you coming. My kind of shoes!!!! Love all your wonderful paintings of the beaches…… want to go there.
Carol K says
Cool shoes. Very cool clams. Wait, did I miss the rice pudding??
