I found this quote today, and it seemed to be appropriate.

That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone, that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe.

I love lighthouse.  This is a painting I did of the lighthouse at the entrance to Boston Harbor.  From what I read it was the first one to be erected in the United States in 1716.  I have never been in one, but plan to visit one someday.  They are such majestic and noble structures.

This is one of my favorite little paintings.  It is a butterfly from my imagination.  When I was little I used to make puzzle shapes all the time and make designs with them.  I guess some things never get old.

This is an ink and watercolor painting I did last year.  I grew up with horses and they have a special place in my heart.  I think they are one of God's most beautiful creatures on earth.  Filled with power and grace.

When I cut this luscious sweet red pepper open, I thought it was a masterpiece of nature.   I just had to paint it.
It was a  nice challenge to get the detail of the seeds and the shimmer of the flesh inside.  Fun stuff!

This was a fun little bright flower I did last year that I am posting for sale.  What I love about the painting is  the real soft pale blue and greenish hues behind the flower.  Unfortunately, the scan doesn't pick-up the soft colors in the background very well.  You'll have to trust me on this one.

Also today, I wanted to thank my friend, Lauie Pace.  She helped me so much with setting up my blog.  What a wonderful, helpful person and an amazing artist!  You can find a link to her blog on my site.  Check it out!

Thanks again Laurie!  God Bless.

I'm back.  It has been a busy January.  This painting I did from a great photo taken by my oldest son Thom.  I thought it was a great perspective view.  It is amazing how things can appear so new and interesting when you look at them in a different way.  Here's to new perspectives!
