Marsh Light

 The light on the marsh creek here changes colors hourly some days and the evening can bring soft pastels to the sky.

Playing with Paint

 I am still ignoring the large blank canvas on my easel and playing with some paper I found in the studio.  In Bordeaux, out in the country there were winding roads with roundabout kind of intersections in the chateaux areas.  I imagined they would look something like this from above.

Colorado on My Mind

 I have been trying to get back into the studio work after traveling and have been playing around with some handmade cotton paper I had in my stash.  This is a mixed media painting using ink, watercolor, acylic and finally oil.   The image is from remembering a drive up Red Mountain on the way to Ouray  Colorado on a fall day.

Hoping for Hummingbirds

Last year we had hummingbirds visit our red canna lily plants and I am hoping to see them return again this fall.  The cannas are up and blooming so hopes are high!  UPDATE they have arrived!

Through the Forest and to the Beach

A lot of our local paths to the beaches on Talbot Island include some walking through the maritime forests.  They are always a beautiful mix of sun and shade.
