Hushed stillness of the fields are exhilarating when bathed by the light of the moon.  I find comfort in our solar system.  It is always there to guide us like a sailor at sea relying on its unwavering position.

View from my back porch of the Supermoon.  It was huge.  Of course my camera would not do it justice at all.  I attempted an oil sketch instead.

Hello out there :D  

I hope your summer is off to a good start.  Once again, I am hoping to have some painting time soon.  Looking forward to summer:  the kids being home, graduations, a wedding, camping, gardening, canning and other good times.  

Our focus in my household right now is to get "back to the basics" at least that is my plan.  My husband may be on strike for an unknown amount of time.  A reminder that life can be uncertain and the importance of being prepared for "rainy days"  I am pretty competitive by nature and actually look forward to the challenge.  History shows us that hard times come and go and I remember my grandparents stories of resilience and self reliance during rough times in their lives.  One thing they always had was that sparkle in their eye when they talked about how much the little things in life were the most memorable.  As I get older I realize how time seems to fly by.  I think simplifying things and getting back to the basics in the day to day will be a way to slow things down a bit.   

Cheers to summer, I hope it does not fly by too quickly!

"Sunset Impression" Today I painted with a softer brush. I liked the effect, the smoother strokes worked well in translating the ethereal sky.

"Twilight Lake" The sky seemed so delicate as the last streaks of faded sunlight slipped into the night. All you could hear at this quiet moment was the lake lapping the beach. The moon bobbed on the surface. Then it was time to hike back.

"Moon Rising" 6" x6" oil on primed masonite.

This is a nearby wetland preservation named Eagle Marsh. As I drive by it is always fun to see how many different birds you may find. Especially in this old dead tree. The moon rising at dusk was an irresistable sight.

"Reflections in the Rain" I love when the mundane becomes magical. The rain and the moonrise transformed this otherwise dreary scene. 6"x6" oil on masonite.
