It’s the beginning of Memorial Day Weekend, a traditional time to celebrate the beginning of summer but we are getting ready to celebrate another important event: the birth of my daughter’s and son-in-law’s first child! We can’t wait to greet my “baby” girl’s baby girl!
Happy Weekend!

Right now, I would love to be relaxing at the beach. When I’m at the beach, I seem to slow down and focus on the natural environment. Unfortunately, it’s that busy time of the academic year for faculty and students and we’re all focused on getting through mountains of work. Spring is when I want time to slow down a bit so that I can slow down as well and enjoy this beautiful season. I’m grateful for trips to the beach and in spite of all the work, for this lovely time of year.
Happy Weekend!

I love how beautifully clouds can sweep across the sky out west. I especially love how these dramatic dark and light clouds met in the middle….much the way I wish members of different ideological groups would. I wish we would listen to each other’s concerns and hopes and see the possibility of meeting in the middle.
Happy Weekend!

This is my first painting of the new year and not surprisingly, I chose one of my favorite painting subjects: a sky full of beautiful color and light. I wanted to convey my overall optimistic feelings about the new year in spite of some of the sad and terrible things happening in the world. May this new year bring peace, sufficient food, and safe shelter to those who need it the most.
Happy Weekend and Happy New Year!

I still haven’t let go of summer yet….nor wishing the days were longer and sunnier, the water warmer, and it was time to go back to the beach.
Happy Weekend!

“Sundrenched” 5” x 7” Pastel $50 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
In spite of the fact that I really love fall, I’ve been having a hard time letting go of summer. I know the days are getting shorter and the freezing temperatures in the morning are certainly getting my attention. The striking colors I see in the trees as I drive into work are also tempting me to start painting autumn scenes now. I will eventually move to painting fall (maybe) but in the meantime, I want to hold onto my memories of sundrenched marshes and blue skies filled with beautiful, multi-colored clouds.
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!
