Last weekend, Zoom, Sean and I headed up to The Sea Ranch. It’s on the north coast of California. It’s one of my favorite places, ever. For this project we used white paper, finger paint, and some shells, wood, and other beach finds to make patterns.
We went to the beach, and Zoom looked for art supplies. It was very serious business.
He found a bunch of great beachy things to use!
And when we got back to our beach house, he got right to work with the paint.
After a flurry of painting, Zoom made two pieces to give to his Grandparents as a thank you for letting us stay with them.

How beautiful! What a fun way to paint!
Thanks Lindsy, and thank you for stopping by 🙂 washable finger paint was the key to cleaning up!
How beautiful! I’ve always wanted to go to northern CA. Great ideas too for me to use here in Fl. Blessings!
Thanks, Christina! I think it might be fun to mix a bit of sand with the paint and see what kinds of textures you can create 🙂
We live at the beach in Florida – We are headed off to do a Nature collage tomorrow – this is a lovely idea :)I dig the texture
Kelli – I’d love to see what you guys cone up with 🙂
I’m very fond of the seashore and kids, and both bring a certain sense of happiness to me. What Zoom did was totally fascinating! His grandparents would be very happy to receive a seashore-inspired painting, and even more so when they find out that their cute little angel did it.
Thanks Donna 🙂 I love the ocean and I’m ever so glad that Zoom seems to love it too.
