I’ve always loved the idea of painting paths and roads. I think it’s because I’m fascinated by imagining what lies around the corner. Could it be a magnificent view of distant mountains? Maybe it’s a bright green meadow with cows grazing lazily in the sun. Maybe it’s, as it was in this case, a beautiful Crape Myrtle that’s caught the rays of the setting sun.

Happy Journeys!

            After a week in which we’ve had more cold, dreary rain, I was longing for warmth and color and so I created my own sunny, summer day.

            Happy Weekend!

            I was saddened to hear this week that the poet, Mary Oliver had died. In the last several years, I’ve had various friends bring her work to my attention and each time, it seems to be when I most needed to hear her words. I’m so grateful for how Mary Oliver could articulate and illuminate life’s truths in such a beautiful way.  Now, more than ever, in the midst of such sad ugliness, we need our poets....and maybe our artists as well. The title of this painting is in tribute to her poem, Journey.

            Happy Weekend!

Classes start next week and although I’ve been working since January 2, my schedule has been busy but not stressful. I must have been thinking of the more hectic schedule that's coming when I was drawn to paint this very peaceful, serene scene. I hope this helps us all to pause in the midst of our busy lives and remember a beautiful sunset.

Happy Weekend!

            This is actually my last painting of 2018, just posted a little late. My Christmas tree is still up, though coming down tomorrow and I have to admit I will miss the colored lights, the beautiful ornaments, and the wonderful smell of a blue spruce tree. I’m always slow to get the tree up and decorated but I’d happily keep it up until February. So, this is probably the last of my winter or holiday scenes until next year.

            Happy Weekend!
