Zinnia's Last Stand

Autumn is upon us, but I have a stand of zinnias that aren't quite finished. They won't be around long with the damp, cool weather of our Pacific Northwest fall season, so I took a few reference shots and created this fanciful version of the scene before me.

Path to the Dock

Our family reunion was spent in northern Wisconsin this summer. For our large family we rented a large home on lake front property. It used to be a YMCA camp! The back yard sloped sharply down to the edge of the lake, but there was a nice stone pathway to follow to reach a wonderful dock for swimming. We had such a good time there! Ready to go for a swim? This way to the dock...

Days End

Life has been full recently, with little time to paint. I was able to spend a little over two weeks in Wisconsin helping care for my daughter's family and their 4th born child! There's nothing quite like holding a newborn. Back at home there's always one thing or another keeping me from painting. Today I got back to the studio and painted a fun interpretation of a recent sunset viewed from my back porch. I love our new home in the country!
