Reaching toward the Heavens

            I'm re-posting this because I'm still helping my daughter and son-in-law care for their two yr. old and 5 month old while my daughter recovers from a torn ACL.

            This painting shows a lovely peaceful cove along the eastern coast of Newfoundland, Canada. This summer, I plan to visit the west coast of Canada and spend some time on Vancouver Island. My primary goal in July and August is to get out of Hotlanta and seek cool breezes on the water someplace beautiful.

            Happy Weekend!

         I'm re-posting this painting from a couple of years ago since I'm visiting family to help out and I won't have much time for painting. I'm thinking this title may apply to my daughter's life right now as she's trying to navigate caring for a two yr old and a 5 month old while on crutches. 

          Happy Weekend!

             One of the places I stayed out west recently, had a beautiful garden which included one of my favorite flowers: red geraniums. They are so vibrant against the many greens of summer that my eye immediately goes to them. They were a joy to paint!

            Happy Weekend!

 

Fog's Coming!

            I’m still on the West coast enjoying hiking along this beautiful shore, with cool ocean breezes. Now if only the fog would stay away.

            Happy Weekend!

I’m out on the West coast so I’m reposting a painting of this area. With the daily fog, I always feel lucky to get a view as clear as this one.

Happy Weekend!

I’ve been looking at my photos of the West coast in anticipation of my upcoming visit there and decided to paint this scene of the Oregon coast. I’ve checked the weather and while it will be in the upper 80’s and 90’s here in the Atlanta area, it will be in the low 60’s on the coast – perfect August weather as far as I’m concerned. I can’t wait! 

            Happy Weekend!

It’s funny to me that I don’t really like some amusement park rides because they’re too scary but I love standing as close as I can get to huge, scary waves, especially if there are also large rocks. I’ll readily admit it’s not always safe to stand so close but I find violent surf as it crashes against the rocks, endlessly fascinating and thus I also love painting these scenes. 

Happy Weekend!
