On this, the first sunny day after what seems like countless gray, rainy days, I want to celebrate blue skies! This is a late summer sky, with the sun setting in a blaze of color over a beautiful marsh.
Happy Weekend!

“Sailing Away Again” 8” x 10” Pastel $75 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
I have a tendency to be drawn to certain images often depending on what’s going on in my life. When I’m feeling super busy, I’m often drawn to images of sailboats. Maybe this is a really obvious message that I’d like to sail away from the nonstop grading and frantic emails during final exams time?
No matter the reason, I’m drawn to this peaceful scene, where someone is lucky enough to be out on the water on a gorgeous day with a beautiful blue sky and fluffy, colorful clouds. Ahhhhh.
Happy Weekend!

“One Big Leap” 8” x 10” Pastel $75 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
Remember when you'd lie on your back looking up at the sky, and name all the things you saw in the clouds? I still see things, or people, or animals in clouds. After all, they serve as giant Rorschach tests in the sky. What do you see in these clouds stretched across the evening sky? I see figures leaping up, perhaps chasing the sun.
Happy Weekend!

“Taking in the View” 5” x 7” Pastel $50 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
At this busy time of the semester for students, staff, and faculty, I’ve been trying to stop occasionally to enjoy the view. It’s hard to remember to pause our busy lives and just appreciate the sunshine or the colors of the leaves, or as these individuals did, take in the view of the beautiful ocean.
Hoping you can pause and take in the view and have a Happy Weekend!

“Safe Landing” 11” x 14” Pastel $175 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
Several years ago, I was able to get away to the mountains in the fall. You never know when exactly the trees will hit their peak of color or if you’ll have missed it all together. But that year, we caught nature’s Autumn exhibition in all it’s glory. It was beautiful! I was also lucky enough to catch these ducks landing in the lake to rest, eat, and enjoy the show like the rest of us.
Happy Weekend!

“The Accent Tree” 5” x 7” Pastel $50 © Sharon Lewis Click Here to Purchase |
I’m going to an Arts Exhibition opening this week where both artists and art patrons will be mingling. Since I have two of my paintings included in this exhibition, I always like to think about what to tell people if they ask me about my art in general. This painting is an example of what I love capturing in my art: light and color in nature. This is a park where I love to walk and was lucky enough to catch the sun just as it set this tree glowing with all the warmth and color we associate with Autumn.
Happy Weekend!
