I started this painting on location on the coast of Maine and then forgot it was in my studio until now. I wasn’t happy with it because I found it to be a bit boring. So, I worked on the sky to make the clouds more interesting and added some of the sailboats that were out that day.

Happy Week!

             There’s nothing like meeting with a good friend to laugh, gossip, and catch up on all that’s important.

Happy Mother's Day!

I want to celebrate my daughter this year, who welcomed her second daughter just 4 weeks ago. She’s an amazing mother of two kids under two!

I also want to celebrate my two nieces Jaci and Ali and my daughter-in-law Emily, all my friends who are mothers, and all those kind souls who mother others with kindness and support. You make the world brighter for your presence.

Happy Mother’s Day Weekend!

 

Quiet Visitor

                    I’m trying to get more used to plein air painting because I enjoy being outside (except in the depth of a Georgia summer) and I learn valuable art skills – like how to simplify a scene and more accurate depictions of colors, light, and shadows. It’s still hard for me to paint in public when I’m on my own as people always want to see what I’m painting. I still remember a woman coming up to me after hours of painting on the beach. I had done several paintings of the ocean earlier and was trying to make some uninteresting dunes more interesting by changing the scene. She looked at where I was looking and looked at my painting obviously puzzled. To her credit she didn’t say anything but her facial expression conveyed, “What the hell???” and maybe even a little, “Poor thing! She thinks she can paint”. Fortunately for my ego, I liked that painting and it later sold to someone else who also liked my imaginary arrangement of dunes. 

                   This painting is my backyard with a bunny I saw conveniently hiding in the grasses.

                   Happy Weekend! 

Beautiful Abundance

                  There’s an ongoing drought in the southern part of Georgia right now and like many places prone to drought, there are currently wildfires. Perhaps this is why I was drawn to paint this abundance of water in the form of this beautiful waterfall. We found this one summer on a hike through the countryside.

                   Happy Weekend!

                    I’m back from an exciting but exhausting two weeks helping my daughter and son-law as they waited to greet their second daughter. She arrived on April 11 and we are so happy to have this tiny, new member of the family!

                   Today’s painting was done on location when I was at the beach a few weeks ago.

                   Happy Weekend!

      I'm reposting one of my favorite paintings today because I'm at my daughter's house eagerly awaiting the birth of her second child, my third granddaughter. Keep your fingers crossed that all goes well.

      Happy Weekend!
