I love
painting water and mountains and I’m always excited if I find a scene where I
can paint both. There’s something that’s endlessly fascinating to me about the
contrast between the rugged rocks and the lush green that flourishes in spite
of the challenging environment.
Happy
Weekend!

Adobe Oasis
 |
I discovered
this space by accident while wondering around a hotel last month. It struck me
as a beautiful juxtaposition of hot, bright light, cool shadow, and vivid color.
I love the contrast of clean architectural lines and the softness of the greenery.
I also love the idea of a refreshing, green respite from what can sometimes be
the overwhelming sun and heat of summer.
Happy Weekend!

Fair Winds on the Fourth
 |
I wanted to create this painting in celebration
of the 4th of July. It’s based loosely on a reference photo and my imagination.
I hope wherever you are, that you enjoy sunshine, good food, and most of all, a
celebration with family and/or friends.
Happy Independence Day!

Sunset Over Sandia
 |
|
I was out in Albuquerque recently for an
arts conference and for several nights in a row, we were treated to spectacular
sunsets. As the sun sank lower in the sky, it illuminated the clouds and made
the Sandia Mountains glow with a warm, peach light. I felt so fortunate that I
was able to capture some photos to paint this wonderful view.
Happy Weekend!

Enjoying Serenity
 |
| “Enjoying
Serenity” Pastel 12” x 12” $175 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
I’ve been busier than I’d like to be
this summer. I’ve done a lot of traveling which I enjoy but what I treasure the
most about summer is the luxury of time to just breathe and enjoy my
surroundings, much like this duck (called a Black Brant) is doing. When I paint
scenes like this one, I’m reminded of and grateful for the serenity that nature
provides.
Happy Weekend!

Longing
 |
|
When I saw these two trees, I couldn’t
get over how they seemed to be reaching their branches toward one another,
drawn to each other but not able to actually touch. They’re like good friends
or lovers, separated by distance but still trying to communicate.
Happy Weekend!

At the Corner of Beauty
 |
I’m packing my art supplies in preparation
for a wonderful conference in New Mexico, just on art. For a few short days, I
will take classes, view wonderful paintings, and try not to buy all of the cool
art supplies on display. Most importantly to me, I will be surrounded by people
who get as excited as I do by the creative process, by color and light, and by
changes in the natural world. These hollyhocks, found on a corner in Old Town,
Albuquerque always remind me of this wonderful communion of artistic souls.
Happy Weekend!
