            I’ll be heading to the beautiful southwestern part of the country next month for a great gathering of pastel artists. This is a wonderful opportunity for pastel artists scattered across the country and around the world to come together to take classes, workshops, and to paint and socialize with one another. It’s so wonderful to be able to talk to so many other people who share my passion to create art.

            This painting comes from photos I took in New Mexico several years ago at our last conference.

            Happy Weekend!

I’ve painted this scene many times in many seasons. It’s a scene from Panola Park outside of Atlanta and has wonderful walking, running, and bike trails. There are also trails leading through the woods here where you can hear frogs mating in early spring or see hawks soaring above searching for prey. If you’re quiet you may even catch an occasional bunny munching her dinner alongside the trail.

The reference photo for this painting was taken after hiking on a cold fall day. We were facing the opposite direction watching the sun set over another large pond when I turned around and saw this perfect scene…that shining moment when the setting sun illuminates the trees and sets them all aglow.

Happy Weekend!

            We were coming back from a wonderful relaxing weekend at the beach and I knew it would be the last trip we’d be taking for many months. I was feeling a little sorry for myself, thinking of all of the work I was coming back to when I happened to look out the window just in time to see this beautiful sunset reflecting onto the water. It was the perfect solace, a kind of gift to store in my memory for months to come.

            Happy Weekend!

             This is where I hope to be in a few days. The beach will not be warm but it does not matter. It will be relaxing and there will be wine, walks, and the water.

I will be able to hear the sound of the waves rolling into shore, the sea birds calling, and the music of the wind. I cannot wait!

            Happy Weekend!
