Ahhh, it was a beautiful, sunny afternoon when we visited the
Parker River Refuge on the northeast coast of Massachusetts. The refuge has
sandy beaches and dunes, cranberry bogs, woods, and acres and acres of salt
marsh. That day there were ducks sunning themselves near the edge of the marsh
banks. With their brown and beige feathers they blended in so well with their
surroundings that I almost didn’t notice them at first. You may be able to see
some of them since I’ve tucked a few in amongst the reeds in the painting.
I hope your
weekend sees you getting outside and enjoying a beautiful, sunny afternoon.
Happy Weekend!

Racing Clouds

April in the Atlanta area is usually beautiful with
blooming trees, bushes, and flowers. It apparently also is typically one of our
drier months though you’d never know it this year. It has been raining with
very few exceptions virtually every day for weeks! When we get a clear, sunny
day, we wander out a bit dazed, looking like pale human mushrooms seeing light
for the first time.
Fortunately,
as I drive back and forth to work, I’m treated to the cheerful sight of
colorful tulips, red and pink azaleas, purple irises, the wine-red and purples
of the Japanese maples, the pink and white blooming dogwood trees, and the
lime-green of new leaves sprouting everywhere.
Hope
you enjoy sunshine and April colors this weekend!

Where the Path Leads Me

During a presentation on some of my art that I gave two
weeks ago, I was reminded of how much I enjoyed painting the Glen Coe area in
Scotland. It’s such a strikingly beautiful mix of majestic, rocky mountains rising
steeply from lush, grassy meadows. We didn’t have much time when we passed
through this area but I would have loved to walk the path shown here to see
where it led. I think I would have seen some small waterfalls running down the
hillside, maybe some sheep, and even some wildflowers…. not a bad walk in my
opinion.
Hope
wherever you are, that the snow has fled, the birds have returned, and the
flowers are blooming.
Have a
happy spring weekend!
