Surf dates are my favorite kind of date. But really, any time when it’s just you and another person in the lineup it’s pretty heavenly.
Lots of blues, a shimmering glassy wave, and pops of color bring this one together, and the words say, “You and me and a date with the sea.”
It’s a fun one. Yay surf art.

I’ve always been a fan of those pictures of a large shell turned into a planter or vase, etc. Well, I took that idea and kicked it up a notch and reflected it. Turned out to be a rather fun piece to get lost in
This can be displayed in landscape or portrait, and there is no predetermined up or down. I painted it from all different angles, so feel free to display it however you like it best.
I walked by this surfboard rack in the jungle in Costa Rica, took dozens of pictures of it, and of course, had to paint it when I got back home. Every brushstroke, paint splatter, and color choice helps to recreate the serene, yet secret, gorgeousness of this spot. The waves nearby were pretty spectacular, too.

A few things I love about the fall/winter in Northwest Florida, all wrapped into a big ‘ol bouquet. This is a rare occasion when I painted a piece, and it turned out how I thought it would after the initial sketch. Monarchs and Shells for the win.

What’s up? I’m Rebekah, the artist and creative gal behind the colorful, beachy, and sunshine soaked world of Goldfish Kiss. I create art inspired by the ocean, flowers, and sunny moments life serves up, and watercolor is my jam. But I like to throw in some other creative shenanigans as well. I paint everything from a messy desk in the corner of a room, and It’s pretty darn amazing to see the pieces that have come out of this little space. Thanks a bunch for stopping by, and I hope you find some joy in this space, because man oh man, I sure do love creating it.

If a swim in the ocean, walk in the sand, or time spent in nature stirs up something in your soul, my book might be right up your alley. Sunny Thoughts For Salty Souls is a collection of poems and thoughts written over the past decade or so via sandy beaches, rainy nights, airplanes, early morning coffees, hammocks, long runs, moody days, and while staring at the horizon waiting for waves.
After years of receiving messages about how many of my poems hit home or were just what someone needed to read, it was about time they were all compiled together. And I think you’ll love how it all came together.
