There’s nothing like the feeling of freedom … to enjoy life for what it is, without worry, responsibility or concern.
Here’s one of my oldest son at the beach right before a storm.. I love the cloud formations.
Yes, they are my feet and I’m relaxing on the beach watching the kids play in the water. I gave this image some texture and it reminds me of a very lazy, Aussie summer’s day at the beach.
Here are my boys and hubby checking out the clouds before a storm.
I know that in an artistic sense this is quite simple, however to me it has great meaning. The image is of my two boys who are also the best of friends. They have an unbreakable bond and here, they are doing something they love; just being together.

I have done this artwork for my son’s wall. It is rather large and is collage/mixed media piece. And yes, it took hours to do!!! But I love the result.
This is for Stuart Chapman – is it dark enough for you? LOL!!! And for the many friends here on RB who help me and many others see light on dark days :0)

To me, this photo symbolizes the beautiful journey of a father and son through life.. Silhouettes are my favorite thing to capture, there is so much emotion without even seeing facial expressions.

I took the boys to Redhead Beach today. We’ve had some beautiful weather of late..but naturally, the easter long weekend is approaching and so are the storm clouds…anyway, that did not deter them from enjoying their time in the sand. Hope you enjoy. !:http://www.redbubble.com/people/florentinepogen/art/890310-1-wait-for-me
Here is the approaching storm and my hubby, my 3 babies and me (behind the camera) trying to get away from it! This is a photo that was taken nearly 2 years ago (old point-and-shoot camera), I though I lost it (or deleted it) but found it out of last night and had to share!
Oils on canvas (50×70 cm) I had lots of fun painting this scene of three brothers hard at work on the beach… One little fellow is trying hard to remove clay and sand from the hole they dug but ends up dropping half his spadeful back into the water… Another little brother huffs and puffs his way up to the pool but his bucket is always half full by the time he reaches it… And the oldest brother… well, judging from the grin, he must be the ‘supervisor’... This painting was done at request from Lisa Wilson and the three brothers are her little sons. I used different photographs and with different poses to make up a story for this painting!! I hope you like it Lisa!!

Ahh summer has arrived early for some of us this year. After a day at the beach last weekend, I was able to get that good old feeling back that only summer can bring! These kids were playing around at the beach, and I couldn’t help but be reminded of a time in life when going to the beach, making a sand castle, digging a hole to fill when tide comes in, finding something living a rock and burying someone in sand were the best things you could ever do. Life’s simple pleasures. I live for a sunny day.
