            I know Halloween is so different this year with either no or modified trick or treating but I couldn’t resist trying to get into the spirit a bit by painting some pumpkins. Thanks to photographer, J.E. Frantz for the use of her/his photograph.

            Hope you have a very Happy Halloween!

             I used to dislike plein air painting…not the idea of it; being outside and painting essentially married two of my loves. It was the reality of it that I wasn’t crazy about. It wasn’t the bugs or the heat or cold; it wasn’t gusts of wind that threatened to topple my easel or blow my painting out to sea. It was all of the beauty in front of me and the struggle to ignore some of that beauty to make a workable composition. It was having to make good and effective choices very quickly or the light shifted or the clouds moved away. I’m getting a tiny bit better at this and I have to say nothing beats plein air painting. I’m outside, in hopefully a beautiful place, and if I keep my swearing to a minimum, slowly but surely, all of the wild creatures come out of hiding as they get used to this odd visitor to their home.

            Happy Weekend!

             There’s probably never a time when I would turn down going to the beach. After all, I grew up on the east coast where some of my best memories are exploring the beach with my brothers and sisters. We’d overturn rocks much like these to see if we could discover worms for fishing or pick up soldier crabs on the shore just to see what was inside. I also remember never getting tired of looking at the sky for there were always amazing clouds overhead.

            Hope you see some beautiful skies this weekend!

            It’s a grey, cloudy, fall day with rain arriving soon. With no sun likely until maybe Monday it’s not surprising that I was drawn to painting this beautiful, glowing sunset.

            Happy Weekend!

             I don’t know about you but after all of the news this week, I’m in need of some peace and tranquility. I hope this view helps you get a little closer to this state.

            Happy Weekend!
