I’ve been thinking about spring lately and that brings to mind tulips – one of my favorite flowers. There are so many colors and even within one tulip, so many variations in colors. I’m traveling this week so I’m sharing some tulips I painted several years ago.

Happy Weekend!

The more the news becomes distressing, the more I tend to escape to a place of peace and tranquility. Being by the ocean was always the place I ran to when I was young and my house was anything but peaceful. The rhythm of the waves has an almost hypnotic quality as the water comes in and goes out, always changing and yet the same.

Hope you’re able to find peace and tranquility and have a Happy Weekend!

             I’ve been thinking a lot about love lately – not only because of Valentine’s Day but also because of all that’s been going on in our country. I think this is a time to think of love as a choice that we can make – to love the stranger, the immigrant, the hungry, the unhoused, the one who is different from us. I struggle every day to not react with anger, hostility, or despair to the negative messages calling out to Americans to be the worst versions of ourselves. I think instead, I will focus on messages like these: Our strength is in our diversity and unity; Our superpower is our compassion; We choose kindness, inclusion, and equity, always; Service to others strengthens our community and our hearts. How about it? Think about showing up as the best version of yourself – the loving, kind, compassionate version of you.

            Happy Weekend and Happy Valentine’s Day!

Love

“Love”          8” x 10”        Pastel        $160        © Sharon Lewis

            Both in honor of Valentine’s Day and to push back on the divisive, demeaning, and insulting messages in the news and on social media, I choose to focus on love. This painting shows two Dads, one white, one black/Hispanic, with their family of kids. I wanted to put an image out into social media that is about kindness, love, and inclusivity. 

            Happy Weekend and Happy Almost Valentine’s Day!
