            In these stressful COVID-19 times, I’m especially grateful for my family, friends, and colleagues even if I only see and hear them virtually via Zoom, Skype, etc. I know some of my friends and colleagues are working very long hours to make sure that we can continue to provide our classes  and services to our students, especially the ones facing difficult challenges.  You truly are the light in these rocky times.

            I love painting skies! I think it’s because I love looking at beautiful skies, especially with colorful clouds, and want to keep that beauty in my life somehow. It always seems like there’s this fleeting moment where the sky is just glorious and then before you know it, the sun is down. This is where it comes in handy to be an artist because I can recreate that beauty again so that I can continue to enjoy it. 

            Hope you enjoy a happy weekend!

            The week has been filled with increasingly stressful talk and measures connected to the corona virus, COVID-19. While I have been paying careful attention to this as it impacts my job as a professor, I have been trying to maintain some degree of perspective. What I don’t want is for this understandably scary virus to be the only thing that I think about all day. So, I’ve been taking refuge in reminding myself of those things that endure. I’m remembering the hypnotic sounds of the waves and the smell of the salt in the air at a beach I visited recently. I’m focusing on the sound of the breeze blowing through my budding trees in the backyard and the melodic spring songs sung by the birds visiting my feeder. I am grateful for all of the beauty that nature presents at this time of year.

Happy Weekend!

            It was one of those beautiful, cool, breezy days at the beach in early spring. The day had been filled with sunshine, the sound of the surf, and the calls of the sea gulls soaring above. And then nature gave us one last show: a sky full of spectacular radiant color that set the sea and shore aglow. I can’t wait to see it again!

            Happy Weekend!
