As the days get noticeably shorter, I find myself appreciating all the more, the warmth of the fall colors still visible out my window. I incorporated many of the colors that I see in my backyard in this painting. Although I know this won’t last much longer, it is enough for now to be able to still enjoy the rich, vibrant colors of fall on this grey November day.
Happy Weekend!

Sometimes, I’m so enamored of the beautiful sky, trees, and water at a local park, that I forget to look down. After I finished a long walk recently, I took a moment to pause and look out across the blue water of one of the small lakes. Fortunately, I looked down and noticed these small, yellow wildflowers growing around the lake, almost glowing as they caught the light from the setting sun. I’m always amused when I realize that what we see as weeds are sometimes quietly beautiful wildflowers simply growing where we didn’t intend them.
Happy Weekend!

I really enjoy painting organic, somewhat rounded shapes like pumpkins. I’m not sure if it’s because their irregular shapes are fun to paint or because I get to paint using different shades of orange which I only rarely use in landscapes. I think it’s also because painting pumpkins allows me to depict more serious subjects like the idea of supporting one another or accepting that we come in different shapes and sizes and that’s OK.
Happy Weekend!
