“Blanket Flowers” 12 x 9 Pastel $ 216 © Sharon Lewis
I want to celebrate my daughter this year, who welcomed her second daughter just 4 weeks ago. She’s an amazing mother of two kids under two!
I also want to celebrate my two nieces Jaci and Ali and my daughter-in-law Emily, all my friends who are mothers, and all those kind souls who mother others with kindness and support. You make the world brighter for your presence.
Happy Mother’s Day Weekend!

“All That Glitters is not Gold” 9 x 12 Pastel $ 216 © Sharon Lewis
I love the glitter and bright colors of Christmas! As I gaze out my studio window upon bare and brown trees, I’m rejoicing in the colors of this holiday, especially the primary colors: red, blue, and yellow (gold). So, of course I had to do a painting of ornaments arranged in the primary color triad.
Whatever holiday you celebrate, I hope you’re finding some warm, bright colors in this season of cold.
Happy Weekend!

“Autumn Bounty” 9” x 12” Pastel $216 © Sharon Lewis

I spent a wonderful October weekend in the North Georgia mountains several years ago. After hiking we found a great open-air market selling a variety of local produce including pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. The owners were happy to sell us their produce but were a little puzzled by me photographing it. This painting is based on that beautiful fall day and the bounty of autumn.
Happy Halloween and Happy Weekend!

“Blanket Flowers” 9 x 12 Pastel $ 100 © Sharon Lewis
I’m re-posting one of my favorite flower paintings as I’m currently traveling. I love the vivid colors in the Blanket flower (or Gaillardia grandiflora) and the fact that they attract butterflies and bees. Apparently, they’re also great in that deer leave them alone, something I have a hard time believing after watching the deer in my area eat everything in my yard.
Happy Weekend!

This is a painting of Alexander Lake in Panola Mountain State Park, a place I love to hike in the fall, winter, and spring. I’ve seen some of the most spectacular sunsets when walking there in the winter. It’s almost as if Mother Nature compensates us for the short hours of light with a gorgeous light show at the end of the day. Happy Weekend!

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!

“Over the Hills and Through the Woods” 9” x 12” Pastel $216 © Sharon Lewis |
It’s Thanksgiving this week and as my students and I scatter over hills and maybe through some woods, I am feeling grateful for all my kind, loving, and thoughtful friends and family. My life is so much richer and happier for your presence!
I hope that wherever you are this Thanksgiving, that you are gathered with love to celebrate this holiday of gratitude.
May you feel the warmth of all those who love you this Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Weekend!
