            Taking a break from your routine and getting away is always nice in that it gives you the opportunity to pause, take a breath and maybe even catch a sunset as colorful as this one was. I’m hoping that one of these days soon I’ll be walking a beach and enjoying a beautiful sunset over the ocean.

            Happy Weekend!

            It’s cloudy here today and I woke up to lots of negative, sad, and disturbing news. I’m finding like a lot of people, that I need to take a break from all the news from time to time to maintain my equilibrium. Fortunately, I also have art to occupy my time and this encourages me to focus on the positive; the beautiful natural world that exists around us. So, I’m not choosing to ignore what is going on right now but I am choosing to focus on remembering that beautiful skies also exist, that sunny days still happen, and that we are all better when we remember all that we share instead of all that divides us.

            I’ve been trying to slowly clean up and better-organize my small art studio this summer and it’s been a voyage of discovery. I’ve found a few art supplies that I forgot I had and discovered some old paintings that were hidden behind some of my newer ones. Today’s painting is one that I discovered and I believe is based on a reference photo that my talented artist friend Karen Margulis took. We both spent our childhood in southern Florida and have fond memories of this area.

            Happy Weekend!

Remembering John Lewis………

"You are a light. You are the light. Never let anyone—any person or any force—dampen, dim or diminish your light. Study the path of others to make your way easier and more abundant."

"Freedom is not a state; it is an act. It is not some enchanted garden perched high on a distant plateau where we can finally sit down and rest. Freedom is the continuous action we all must take, and each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.”

“Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year; it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble.” — John Lewis

            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!

            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!

            Happy Weekend!
