“Winter Warmth” 8” x 10” Pastel $75 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
Walking in the winter can bring its own special beauty and warmth. Although by late November, the deciduous trees have lost their orange, red, and gold leaves, they leave behind soft mauves and violets. And those winter skies! When the air is clear, the humidity low, and the timing just right, you may see a glorious sunset sky!
Happy Weekend!

“A Lucky Hiker’s View” 12” x 12” Pastel $175 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
Every weekend it’s not raining, I try to make time to get outside and walk at Panola Mountain State Park. My route takes me past the South River which I have to admit, on many days, is not the most picturesque river. It’s almost a shallow stream in drier times. However, after many days of rain and with sunny, blue skies overhead, it can present the lucky hiker with this idyllic, beautiful scene.
Happy Weekend!

“The Hush Before Night Falls” 8” x 10” Pastel $75 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
That time after sunset and before night creeps in is a lovely time. It becomes increasingly quiet as the light fades from the sky. I love the peacefulness of this time though I also love the bird or two who sings out when the others have given up their concerts and loud parties. Eventually, even they become quiet and you hear only the hush before night falls.
Happy Weekend!

“Mad About Tulips” Oil 10” x 8” $100 © Sharon Lewis |
I love this time of year when signs of new life are all around us. There are the beautifully flowering trees like the dogwoods as well as the very old apple tree in my front yard, still delighting me with its pink, fragrant blossoms. Then there are the flowers blooming in neighbor’s yards while mine have long ago been eaten by all the deer. And I can’t forget the birds, singing their cheerful spring songs as I spend hours grading good but very long papers.
To all my friends who celebrate Passover, Happy Passover! To family and friends who celebrate Easter, Happy Easter!
