“A Walk on the Beach” 8 x 10 Oil $160 © Sharon Lewis
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!

“Spring Tulips” Oil 6x6 $108 © Sharon Lewis
It’s that beautiful time of year with the promise of new life everywhere. The birds are singing glorious new songs, the trees are blooming, the hours of light are increasing, and my “baby” is expecting her baby any day now. I love spring!
Happy Easter, Happy Passover, and Happy Weekend!

“A Night Out” 10 x 10 Oil $200 © Sharon Lewis
I started this painting years ago in a painting class taught by the talented artist, Karen Appleton. I apparently made a very rough start, filed it away under other photos and paintings, and then got busy again with my day job. Unfortunately, my reference photo was terrible so I did my best to research what a gold purse would look like if spotlighted. Even given the challenges, this was a lot of fun to paint.
Happy Weekend!

“Fleeting” 4 x 6 Oil $70 © Sharon Lewis
This past week I was able to get away to the beach and had a wonderful time walking and running on the beach as well as trying to capture the beautiful sky and sea. It was a beautiful respite from the news.
Happy Weekend!

| “Going Sledding” 8 x 10 Pastel $160 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Buy |
This painting is loosely based on a photo of a snowfall several years ago in the Atlanta area. Given that snow is not that common here in the south, we react differently from my northern family and friends. We get out and enjoy the snow since everything shuts down at once. Everyone, including adults, grabs something that remotely resembles a sled (garbage can lids, trays, cardboard), finds a hill (plentiful here in the foothills of the Appalachians), and goes sledding.
Happy Weekend!

“Last Impression” 7 x 5 Pastel $105 © Sharon Lewis
Last summer I was fortunate to stay at a lovely rental house on the coast of Maine. The house had beautiful views of the ocean from the deck and Reid State Park nearby. Reid State Park was essentially two beaches enabling long walks with gorgeous sea, sand, and skies everywhere you looked. I really didn’t want to leave this place.
This was the very last painting I did. I needed to pack up all my art supplies which was going to take a while so I didn’t have much time. The view down these rocks was partially obscured by shrubbery but with the magic of art, I whisked that away and painted the glimpses I could see. It was a little more impressionistic than my usual paintings but it was one of my favorite ones of the trip.
Happy Weekend!
