“Let’s Go Fly a Kite” 5” x 7” Pastel $50 © Sharon Lewis SOLD |
It’s Memorial Day weekend, a long holiday weekend that is both a time to honor those who have lost their lives serving our country as well as a signal that the summer has begun.
I can’t help but think that maybe this year we need to think and extend our compassion, our hugs, our kindness, to all those who lost someone this past year.
Hugs and Happy Weekend!

“On the Water” 5” x 7” Pastel $50 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
It’s getting warm already here in the south and I would love to be back on the northwest coast, with cool breezes and the ocean nearby. This was the view from a restaurant right on the water in Seattle. I don’t really remember the food but I’ll never forget the view of the sailboats out on the water, enjoying the last rays of sunshine before heading home.
Happy Weekend!

“Aerial Race” 9” x 12” Pastel $100 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
Several years ago, we were driving back from the South Carolina coast and I was experiencing that familiar let-down feeling you have at the end of a nice weekend with only work to look forward to when, fortunately, I looked up at the sky. It was spectacular! It looked like an aerial race of clouds across the horizon blazing with color and light. I quickly took a ton of photographs as quickly as I could and promised myself that one of these days I would create a painting based on them. And so I have.
Happy Weekend!

“Waiting For Us” 2.5 x 3.5” Pastel $25 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
It’s a cool spring morning, maybe too soon to be thinking about the beach, but this painting reminds me that this beautiful, relaxing place is still there, even if the water is a bit too cold for swimming right now. It’s there, waiting for us to look up from work responsibilities and stressful deadlines, waiting for us to pause and remember, and breathe, and once again enjoy the beauty of nature.
Happy Weekend!
