July 19th, 2011
I sat last night quietly at my kitchen table. I was thinking how quickly the summer is going by. We waited for it throughout the long winter; then, we complain about being too hot, too many people, traffic jams. Are we ever happy, I ask? I do all those things myself. It was about 10:00 p.m. and everything was so still. I could hear the sounds of critters outside and the sprinklers going off on the golf course.
I did not go into downtown Rehoboth yesterday; don’t know how busy it was. A lady told me that she did not think this week was busy. Wrong again. It really was, but it was such a gorgeous week that they were all at the water’s edge.
If you are enjoying Rehoboth this week, then these might be of interest to you.

When I met him I thought he was quiet and reserved. But aren’t artists pretty much that way? They don’t need to make themselves known; their art says it all.
I attended an Artist’s Reception last Friday at the offices of Delaware Realty at 117 Savannah Rd., Lewes, DE.
As I entered the offices, Richard Clifton’s paintings were displayed for all of us to see and enjoy. Cocktails and appetizers were served, as well.
When I meet someone with such an artistic gift, I find myself at a loss for words, if you can imagine that. I cannot draw a straight line.
Richard told me that painters are also good photographers. At times he refers to photos; others are in his memory.
As I looked at the paintings on displayed the waterfowl images were so inspiring and they filled me with awe and wonder. They were truly beautiful.
Richard is a self-taught artist who chooses acrylics as his medium; the genre of waterfowl is his specialty. His work has been shown at the country’s finest art shows. He is one of the tops; all-time list for awards.
Inspiration for his work is drawn from his surroundings. He lives adjacent to Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge.
In 1991 he won his first duck stamp contest. The first of many, including Federal Duck Stamps, as well.
“Duck Stamps” are pictorial stamps produced by the U.S. Postal Service for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service; not valid for postage.
Since 1934 the Federal Duck Stamps have been a vital tool for wetland conservation. The program has helped to place over 5 million acres under the protection of U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s National Wildlife Refuge System.
I had taken some pictures at Silver Lake in Rehoboth Beach. As I looked at these pictures now, and then see Richard’s paintings, I can’t get over how real his paintings look. Here are my pictures:
Richard’s paintings and prints are for sale. If you would like to get in touch with him, please call him at 302-684-4747. You can also visit his website; www.RichardClifton.com.
Here is Richard’s exhibit at Delaware Realty.
2007-2008 Federal Duck Stamp
 Ring-Necked Ducks Richard just won the 2011/2012 Colorado Duck Stamp.
And a close-up for you so that you can appreciate how gorgeous it, actually, is.
The Silver Lake Canvassbacks will give 30% of the sale to the Children’s Beach House in Lewes. It is an acrylic and the sale price is $3,500.
One of the media favorites was the Tundra Swan called Elegance in Motion.
The Across the Marsh Egret was one of my favorites. Thanks to Richard for posing.
Full Rut – White Tail Deer. The Moon shining its light from above.
The Wood Ducks were gorgeous.
The following is Red Tail Morning.
I love watching the geese migrate through our area. I hear them and I always look up. Almost wishing them a good trip on that long migration.
 Shallow Water Canadas Not leaving the Delaware Blue Hens.
I walked around several times through the room and the one that I kept coming back to again and again was the Peregrine Falcon. He was fearless, strong and imposing.
He is fantastic. Keeping a watchful eye.
To be able to express yourself in such a way……priceless!!

I remember when I moved to the Delaware Beaches in 1981. Not much was going on and people would ask “What are you going to do there year-round?”….How times have changed. Those same people have either bought properties here, have moved here, or can’t wait to visit time and time again….have a good one.

“The Sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.” jacque cousteau
It is so true. So many times I have met people at the beach and the first thing they say is “I have been coming here for years”, whether it has been with family or friends, the beach brings in all of us feelings of nostalgia and serenity.
 Last summer on the Boardwalk If you happen to be in Rehoboth Beach this week-end, then get ready because the town of Rehoboth has a lot to offer as the week-end approaches. I call it “a soft opening”, because the gates will open on Memorial Week-End and the season will formally open then. Once that happens, this small coastal resort will be non-stop with shopping, arts, entertainment, restaurants; the beach and the boardwalk.

That’s a ritual for Boardwalk walkers. I had to laugh; pancakes, sausage and then walk…or roll, that would be me.
The funds raised will be used to purchase “new” chairs. For more info. please call 302-227-2055.

What is an Illustrator? “A graphic artist who specializes in enhancing writing by providing a visual representation that corresponds to the content of the associated text.”
The illustrator can clarify complicated concepts or objects that are difficult to describe textually. They have been used in advertisement, greeting cards, posters, books, magazines and newspapers.
I met James the other day. He is a traditional illustrator. Humor and imagination are an integral part to James’s style. He graduated from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia and is freelancing in the area.
