Several years ago, I was out in San Francisco for a conference and after meetings we headed out of the city to go hiking. On our way out, we passed by this courtyard with a huge, blooming bougainvillea, one of my favorite plants in the world. I’ve always loved the brilliant, hot pink color, a love I shared with my sister, Meg, and the plant reminds me of growing up in south Florida, where it’s common to see this beautiful plant blooming everywhere.
Happy Weekend!

I Can Fly!

            I am always drawn to paint beautiful days at the beach, and now, especially so in the middle of what feels like incessant grey skies and rain this winter. 
It was one of those gorgeous days, with a mild breeze and a blue sky decorated with wisps of thin clouds with fog starting to roll in a bit over the more distant hillside. I was taking photos of the beach and trying to catch some of the waves coming in. It was only later that I realized that I’d caught this young boy facing the surf with outstretched arms in absolute joy and delight.
            Happy Weekend!

Memories of Blue Skies

            The more often we have grey, rainy skies, the more I’m drawn to colorful, light-filled skies such as this one. I’ve heard rumors that we’re going to see the sun again one of these days but until I do, I’m going to be painting these beautiful coastal skies to remind myself of what blue skies look like.
            Hope you see some blue skies soon. Happy Weekend!

            It’s not surprising that I’ve been drawn to painting colorful sunsets and blue skies lately. We’ve had rain and grey skies for days and after a while we’re all longing for the sight of light and a blue sky.
            Hope wherever you are, that your weekend is filled with light!
Happy Weekend!
