             When I was visiting family recently, my son-in-law, Tyler surprised my daughter with these beautiful flowers. She placed them in a vase and put them on her kitchen island near a bowl of fruit. I loved the contrast between the beautiful blues and purples of the flowers and the lush red, yellow, and orange of the fruit and knew I wanted to paint it. And voila, here it is.

Happy Weekend!

             I’ve been visiting family and staying with my daughter and son-in-law. They live in a beautiful neighborhood with lots of trees all around. To warm up, I painted this small study of the view from my room of their neighbor’s beautiful house with flowers lining the front.

            Happy Weekend!

             This is a painting of Alexander Lake in Panola Mountain State Park, a place I love to hike in the fall, winter, and spring. I’ve seen some of the most spectacular sunsets when walking there in the winter. It’s almost as if Mother Nature compensates us for the short hours of light with a gorgeous light show at the end of the day.

            As my free time increases somewhat, I’ve been eager to get back to painting in oils. I’m not as familiar with this medium as I am with pastels, so painting with this medium is a voyage of discovery – often one involving trial and lots of errors. However, I love being able to mix hundreds of different colors from a handful of tubes of paint and the challenge of creating the strokes and marks I want with brushes instead of sticks of solid pigment (pastels). It’s so much fun to have to time to try something different!

            Happy Weekend!

           Friday is the summer solstice and the official start of summer. Summer to me means, the gift of time, fireflies, bird song, the chance to read many, many novels, and the opportunity to escape to the ocean.

            Happy Weekend and Happy Summer!
