Emerald Spring

 It's so nice to have our hummingbirds buzzing about again. I must have sensed it was time for their return when I started this painting. Shortly after finishing it - I saw my first Hummingbird of the season and filled the feeders.

Rainy Day Walk About

I combined several scenes that I have witnessed around Walker for this painting. I hope you can feel the warm rain, the birds singing and the distant hum of boats on the lake.

Delphinium

There are several colors that I cannot wear but admire. Yellows and Purples are 2 of those colors. I feel like these colors dance together and look so nice....on other people. For now, I will paint these colors. The Delphinium inspiration came from my Mom's garden. I have tried to grow Lupine, Poppies and Delphinium with no success. My Mom, on the other hand, has great success and allows me to use her flowers as models.

Growing Forward

This was my meditation painting. Many hot beverages were consumed while working on this piece. Many peaceful songs were listened to and many inspiring podcasts were taken in while sketching and painting. I hope you can feel the peace it holds. 

The original inspiration came from a colorful crop or perennials that were blooming where my Grandmother planted them years ago. We took down a giant Basswood tree the summer before and the lilies are now thriving from the direct sunshine. A lime green background would have been more fitting but the rich teal-blue was what called to me. You might notice a grasshopper hidden amongst the stems. I thought his presence and symbolism of moving forward would complement this piece. Hence the name - Growing Forward.
