Two Out Of Three…

Two out of three ain’t bad. Well, in this case, two out of three are bad. But there was joy in the creating. Learning in there as well. Good paper makes all the difference!

Trying for loose here. Kept on going all the way to messy and slightly muddy. Tried again, and Pink Tulips (above) was born.

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy;
they are the charming gardeners
who make our souls blossom.

Couldn’t let the day pass without telling you
how grateful I am for your friendship and support.
I am so honored that you choose to spend a few moments of your day with me.

Thank you.

Some days the light turns the fields so bright that they seem to be glowing. Other times the hills seem to vibrate with a warm earthy pink. Very happy with this one. Closer to the vision that was gnawing at me.

Monday was our Thanksgiving due to work schedules. I had to wait to paint until everyone else was in bed. My brother was trying to think of a Thanksgiving song. None of us could. I thought of Over the River. I remember the Peanuts gang singing it. But the full version is clearly for Christmas.
