Week 50, The Drive Home

After leaving my friend Goedele’s birthday party the sunset light on the beautiful pasture land of Norwood was extraordinary — particularly with the dark stormy clouds in the background and the sun just slipping under the blanket of clouds.

Week 48, Summer Skies

…on our deck enjoying a beautiful July evening. I wanted this painting to be as much about the sky as the mountains and foreground so I chose a vertical format so I could capture the beautiful Monsoon clouds.

Week 43, Petunias and Quimper

There has been so much wind lately that I opted for another still life. I love the purple of these petunias in one of my outdoor baskets and decided that these combined with a little Quimper pitcher I have would make a sweet little still life.
