Return To The Park
After a long hiatus I have come back to visit the park. Immediately, I am reminded of its allure and hear an inner voice scolding me for my lengthy absence. Life’s responsibilities can get in the way and what brings much delight can soon become a fading memory.
A gentle breeze rustles amongst [...]
Sweetness In Friendship
It is a gorgeous September morning causing one to recall past languorous summer days. Birds noisily flutter in and out of the old apple tree as a gentle breeze appears intermittently.
I have come to paint in my best friend’s backyard while she is traveling. Like the apple tree our friendship has matured over [...]
Late Autumn
It is well into autumn now. Leaves have been stripped from trees baring skeletal structures beneath. Glimpses of areas unseen before, make their appearance between negative spaces once occupied by greenery.
Mauves and grays have overtaken the land as nature prepares for her slumber ahead; while straw colored grasses soften the appearance of autumn’s grayness. [...]
A State of Solitude
The air is clear and crisp this morning. We have been blessed with another gorgeous autumn day. Today the park tantalizes one with an array of subject matter. Decisions must be made before the noon sun fades autumn’s brilliance.
Finally, across the ocean a strip of land beckons to be captured on canvas. [...]
Within the Breeze
The wind is unforgiving today. It gusts about whipping grasses and foliage relentlessly. The ocean air permeates the space with its salty breath. Fall has suddenly arrived with its bright clear colors and crisp air.

Invitation To Freedom
There is a chill in the air as a cool breeze drifts in; causing one to don long sleeves and pants. A shift occurs as the lazy days of summer begin to fade. The park is quieter today as people move on to other responsibilities with September’s anticipated arrival.
Still the park’s allure prevails. [...]
Spirits Merge
It is a humid and very breezy day in August. Everything is in motion as a steady breeze drifts over the ocean surface. It dashes throughout pockets of space within swaying foliage. An intimate perch above the shoreline beckons for company. It creates a protected space for the viewer, enabling one to nestle in [...]
A Harmonic Existence
Every year I gleefully anticipate the arrival of wild rose bushes. They brighten summer greens and cheerfully inhabit the surrounding space. Their nature is pleasant and easy going. Bobbling in the breeze they sway about effortlessly. Resistance is set aside as they adjust to nature’s ever-changing state. Without resistance an existence of harmony [...]
Seasonal Journey
Spring is upon us and has brought a renewal of life. Nature adorns her space with an abundance of blooms, lime greens and reddish umbers. The air is crisp as I nestle down beside a low lying tree limb. Before me is a treasure to behold. Fresh blossoms rejoice in spring’s return with intricate [...]
Final Days
It is a crisp October morning. Mist hangs in the air from last night’s moisture; while sunlight adds drama to the land and sea. I can hear a chorus of Canadian Geese announcing their arrival as they inhabit the space overhead. They arrive in formation moving quickly into the expansive space beyond. A few [...]
