It was a grey, rainy day when I painted this last weekend. I think subconsciously, I was looking for something to counteract the gloominess of the day when I noticed some photos I’d taken of some enormous, bright sunflowers. I’d placed them on a table near a window where the sun spotlighted the flowers beautifully. These cheerful, yellow sunflowers are to me, the perfect antidote for a rainy day.

Happy Weekend!

I’ve been watching the progression of blooming trees and shrubs on my walks through my neighborhood. After working long hours, intensely focused on a screen, it’s wonderful to get outside, take deep breaths of fresh air (even if it’s loaded with pollen this time of year), get some exercise, and enjoy the sight of all the soft, fuzzy colors of spring.    

Happy Weekend!

                  Temperatures are back in the 80’s again and I’ve begun to dwell more on thoughts of summer rather than autumn. This is a painting of the beautiful roses that grow wild around the house we stay in every year on Bailey Island, Maine. I’m hoping that cool days will be here again soon but in the meanwhile, it doesn’t hurt to remember the wild beauty of summer.

            Happy Weekend!
