Beach Dreams

  “Beach Dreams”       5” x 7”      Pastel      $105     © Sharon Lewis

             On a rainy day in Georgia, I’m dreaming of someplace warm and sunny, where the only sounds I hear are the calls of gulls, the wind blowing through the sea grasses, and the rhythmic, relaxing sounds of the waves.

            Happy Weekend!

            There’s something about waterfalls that both fascinates me and calms me as well. I find staring at the falling water somehow slows my breathing and I feel a sense of tranquility.

           For many of us, this week has been anything but tranquil. We now have a new president, with changes that have angered and/or scared my students, colleagues, friends, and family. I offer this, as hope that in the midst of change both in our weather and in our political climate, it might offer you some tranquility.

            Happy Weekend!

In the In-Between

              I’ve mentioned before how much I love looking at and painting skies and as often as I paint them, you’d think I’d find them easy. Sometimes they are but more often I struggle to paint them in a way that fully conveys how gorgeous I find them. One of the times when they are especially gorgeous is that time in-between sunset and full night when the sky is often filled with this last, quick, intense display of beautiful light and color. Hope you enjoy!

            Happy Weekend!

             I know the holidays are over but I’m one of those people who would gladly leave the Christmas decorations up through February. They are such a wonderful contrast to the browns and grays I see outside my window. Unlike the majority of my friends and family who can’t wait to put everything away, I continue to get great joy looking at the bright red, green, blue, and gold decorations. I know the “party’s over” but I will enjoy these bright, cheerful colors just for a few more days.

            Happy Weekend!
