The dazzling
colors in the sky that herald the setting of the sun never fail to amaze me.
The colors change moment by moment, with some becoming more intense, then replaced
by others, until gradually, sadly, they all fade away leaving you awed at the
performance. It’s a glorious symphony of colors played silently across the sky,
all for the benefit of anyone who takes the time to look up.
Happy
Weekend!

Oh, What a Beautiful Morning
 |
I grew up hearing songs from
musicals…all musicals it seems. My Dad loved them and apparently so did our
grade school choir director so I learned to sing many of the songs from these
same musicals. One of my favorites is “Oh, what a beautiful morning” sung by
Gordon MacRae in the musical, “Oklahoma”. It’s a wonderfully cheerful song and it
seemed the perfect title for this sunrise painting.
By the way, as everyone who knows
me will tell you, I’m not a morning person but I will get up right
before dawn, anywhere in the world, to capture a beautiful sunrise. It’s always
worth it and then I go back to sleep like the good night owl that I am.
Happy
Weekend!

Still Beautiful
 |
|
I chose to paint this not only
because sunsets are still beautiful in spite of the spread of the corona virus but
also because it is such a peaceful scene…..something that’s welcome in the
middle of stressful times. And I think those kayakers are maintaining social
distance.
Happy
Weekend!

Look for the Silver Lining
 |
I have to give credit for today’s painting title to
songwriters Bud DeSylva and Jerome Kern. The lyrics may be a little corny but
nonetheless uplifting so I’m sharing them with you today. If you’d rather hear
them sung I’ve included links to two versions, the first sung in the 20’s by
Marilyn Miller and Alexander Gray and the second later in the 40’s by Judy
Garland.
Happy
Weekend!
Look
for The Silver Lining Lyrics
Look
for the silver lining
Whenever a cloud appears in the blue
Remember, somewhere the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you
Whenever a cloud appears in the blue
Remember, somewhere the sun is shining
And so the right thing to do is make it shine for you
A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life
A heart full of joy and gladness
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life.
Will always banish sadness and strife
So always look for the silver lining
And try to find the sunny side of life.
