            Today is a beautiful fall day – sunny, breezy, and cool. I would love to have days like this for weeks! Instead, I see the weather forecast is for the low 80’s next week. In spite of the unseasonably warm weather, the leaves are changing signaling fall is here. Last year around this time, I was in this lovely park in Virginia, hiking with my kids. The leaves were not quite this colorful, but I used a little artistic license to adorn them with rich autumn colors.

            Happy Weekend!

It’s fun to escape your everyday views from time to time. I love exploring new landscapes and this is a place that my son discovered for all of us to hike over Thanksgiving weekend. Fortunately, the trees hadn’t lost all their leaves and we were treated to some beautiful colors and scenery.

Happy Weekend!

            As I finished my walk in a local park recently, the sun was just setting.  For a few brief moments, this nearly bare tree was attired in mauve while there was a beautiful glow on the lake, reminding me that even in winter, nature can surely put on a show!

            Happy Weekend!

Several years ago, I was able to get away to the mountains in the fall. You never know when exactly the trees will hit their peak of color or if you’ll have missed it all together. But that year, we caught nature’s Autumn exhibition in all it’s glory. It was beautiful! I was also lucky enough to catch these ducks landing in the lake to rest, eat, and enjoy the show like the rest of us.

Happy Weekend!

             I’m going to an Arts Exhibition opening this week where both artists and art patrons will be mingling. Since I have two of my paintings included in this exhibition, I always like to think about what to tell people if they ask me about my art in general. This painting is an example of what I love capturing in my art: light and color in nature. This is a park where I love to walk and was lucky enough to catch the sun just as it set this tree glowing with all the warmth and color we associate with Autumn.

            Happy Weekend!

            This is the companion painting to last week’s apple painting. I photographed these apples on a railing up in the mountains with a gorgeous southern sugar maple tree behind them. These trees turn bright yellow in the fall and this beautiful tree inspired me to paint the apples with a backdrop of a warm, cheerful, golden sky.  

           Happy Weekend!

Finding Comfort

I’m finding comfort lately in focusing on the things that have not changed since the election on  Tuesday. I still have my wonderful family and friends, my students who give me hope every day that our future will be bright when they’re in charge, and the signs of fall all around me. We found these colorful apples on our way up to the north Georgia mountains and I couldn’t wait to paint them!
May you find comfort this weekend in the company of good friends and family, and in the delightful colors of autumn!

Hear the Woods Sing

            Ever since I was a child I listened to the trees sing. Each tree sounded its different notes as the wind blew through its leaves. I would hide myself away deep within a grove of trees or climb high up upon the branches until I found the perfect perch. Ahhh, the joys of childhood, gorgeous views from on high with the music of nature in my ears.
            Happy Weekend!
