Take us there, Greece, Italy, Caribbean...

Deep blue water, pale blue sky, sunshine whites, and fuschia flowers.
Drink in hand, barefoot, and free.
A siren from the sea is calling me.
Could be anywhere-
Greece, or Italy; Caribbean or Cuba...
Take us there.

Deer Camouflage

On a snow canvas, 

trees paint the shadows: 

Horizontal swooshes. 

Curves up a hill. 

Blankets of blue and purple and gray.

Nature's final 'painting'- 

a camouflage for deer.

I started this painting last year in the midst of our 110" inches of snowfalls but thought better of finishing it and sending it out. The recipients had had enough snow. With hardly any snow this year [so far] I finished it.

Let's all reach for it.

Fall Walk

A stroll.

One step at a time.

No time, no place, no hurry.

Through colored blankets of gifts from the trees.

Pastel, 6x9 $75.

Closing Up the summer

This, the first day of fall
signals the closing of summer: vacation house, bathing suits, convertibles, and playthings.
It opens up autumn: a tranquil beach, crispy days, dry sun, and the approaching rainbow of leaves.
A sad good-bye
A happy welcome.

Pastel, 2007, SOLD

Labor Day rest

Hang loose.
Take a rest.
Do nothing.
Stare at the sky.
Swing in the breeze.
Enjoy Labor Day.
Meditate.
You deserve it.

Summer pit stop

Hot day.
Cool spot.
Sun streaks the shade
and pops the color.
Ice cream chills the body 
but also cheers the soul.
