1. Restaurants By The Sea: FRIDAY AT NAPI'S

NAPI'S RESTAURANT
7 FREEMAN AVENUE
PROVINCETOWN, MA 02657
508 487 1145                                                                                          PRICE RANGE:  $$

I love this restaurant!  It's tucked away on a side street.  When you first see this restaurant,  you feel like you've  found a hidden treasure.  It's a one of a kind restaurant. I think people would say it has "local color".
Napi's is intimate and quiet.  Off-season will be more relaxing with few tourists.  Summer is busier all over the Cape but you will still enjoy yourself.
Wonderful international cuisine.  If you'll looking for fresh fish entrees you will have several delicious choices.
The clam chowder and Portuguese kale soup are really good.  Wonderful especially when the weather is inclement.  My husband and I have never been disappointed with their food.
Unique interior filled with an eclectic display of artwork.  Napi and his wife have been collecting Provincetown artwork for years - he should have his own art museum.
If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of Napi eating lunch or dinner in the dining room. He's a very charming man.  I  had a wonderful conversation with him about his art collection.
Here's the link to Napi's.

RESTAURANTS BY THE SEA

  I painted this a few years ago to celebrate Cape Cod's fifteen towns.  Every town is represented by a restaurant that resides in that town.
  I thought it would be fun to write a restaurant review for each restaurant painted.
  For anyone visiting the Cape this summer I hope I can give you some ideas for eating out.  For those of you living on Cape Cod you will be familiar with these restaurants - I hope you'll like my choices!
  For the next 15 weeks on Friday I will review one of the 15 restaurants that I painted.
                                

NEW 5"X7" GREETING CARD

I just placed a new greeting card on my Etsy shop.  It's called "Wedding On The Beach".

I do love mermaids and sailors!

New 6" Wooden Painted Mermaid Bowl

I just finished painting this cute little mermaid bowl.  I think I'll paint a redhead, brunette and black haired mermaid for my next three bowls.  This mermaid reminds me of my dolls when I was a little girl. I had to have at least four dolls - one for each hair color.

Hand painted wooden ornament perfect for a wedding favor

I just listed this hand painted wooden ornament on ETSY.

IT'S AN IRISH THING "I'M AN IRISH MISS".

A  mermaid for St. Patricks's Day.  I have painted this Irish miss to celebrate your Irish roots.  This card is a great way to bring Ireland into your home.
