            I was recently out in Boulder, Colorado for the wedding of my daughter’s beautiful, best friend, Deirdre. I loved everything I saw of Boulder! There seem to be parks and great places to hike everywhere. On the day of the wedding, I was able to get a hike in at Chautauqua Park which has beautiful green meadows dotted with wild flowers, some marshy areas with deer grazing nearby, and this gorgeous peak to climb. I only had an hour to hike and explore but I was able to get some striking photos in spite of the intermittent rain and fog.

            Happy Weekend!

            I love painting water and mountains and I’m always excited if I find a scene where I can paint both. There’s something that’s endlessly fascinating to me about the contrast between the rugged rocks and the lush green that flourishes in spite of the challenging environment.

            Happy Weekend!

            I discovered this space by accident while wondering around a hotel last month. It struck me as a beautiful juxtaposition of hot, bright light, cool shadow, and vivid color. I love the contrast of clean architectural lines and the softness of the greenery. I also love the idea of a refreshing, green respite from what can sometimes be the overwhelming sun and heat of summer.

             Happy Weekend!

             I wanted to create this painting in celebration of the 4th of July. It’s based loosely on a reference photo and my imagination. I hope wherever you are, that you enjoy sunshine, good food, and most of all, a celebration with family and/or friends.  

            Happy Independence Day!
