I don’t
know about you but with all of the bad news I keep hearing sometimes I just
need to imagine being someplace like this…to catch my breath, and remember what
peace and tranquility feel like.
Happy
Weekend!

Mattole Beach
 |
We were in
northern California, winding our way through redwoods, golden, grassy hills sprinkled
with cattle, and then back down to the water somehow. We discovered this interesting
beach where the winds were cold, the sand was dark and littered with driftwood,
and the water was a beautiful, emerald green. I love how the natural world consistently
amazes me!

Red, White, & Blue

I hope wherever you
are, that you enjoy sunshine, good food, and most of all, a safe, socially-distanced
celebration.
Happy Independence Day!

Solstice Sunset
 |
I’ve always
been fascinated by the solstice and when I read that the sunsets are longest on
this special day, it started to make more sense. I found out that it actually
takes more minutes for the body of the sun to sink below the horizon which
means on the solstice, we have more time to enjoy all of the beautiful colors
of a sunset. Of course that meant that I just had to create a longer than usual
painting of a sunset on the solstice. Hope you enjoyed your solstice wherever
you were.
Happy
Weekend!

Highlights of Summer
 |
As I write this it’s not quite officially summer but it’s
beginning to feel like it already. There are longer hours of sunlight and today
it’s sunny and warm with big fluffy clouds overhead. I love summer skies since
there are usually full of interesting clouds that are both challenging and fun
to paint.
Happy
Weekend!

It was a beautiful,
peaceful evening in the month of June. There was time to enjoy the cool breeze
from the water, the sound of the waves lapping gently at the rocks below, the
taste of a delightful wine, and the sight of tiny ducklings being shepherded by
their parents to safety for the night. To top it off, there were these glorious
colors playing across the sky as the sun traveled towards the horizon. This is
where I’d love to be right now!
Happy

Over the Hills and Far Away

It was a
somewhat overcast day with only small glimpses of blue sky above on the popular
Isle of Skye. For a landscape artist who loves painting skies, what’s not to
like about a gorgeous island named “Skye?” However, the island’s name is apparently
not a reference to the occasional beautiful skies but is thought to come from skitis,
an early Celtic word for winged, possibly referring to how the islands
peninsulas radiate from the Cuillin hills in the center of the island. On a
drive one day, I was lucky enough to catch this image of these striking yellow
flowers, called gorse, with the blue waters and green hills in the background.
Happy
Weekend!
