Daisies...

 

My favorite flowers painted this evening ...white daisies. I love them because they are wild flowers. White. Simple. A hint of a beautiful yellow. I used to make crowns of them in my hair as a child during my summers on Block Island. I would pick them and put them all over our home with blackberry branches...

A Landscape and a Heart for SF...

Clients of mine just sent me this wonderful photo of two of my pieces coupled together in their new home. The heart was painted to auction off and donate to raise money for SF General Hospital...a tradition yearly in San Francisco. It was the first time I had painted in three dimensions...but very fun.

It's just about that time...couldn't resist.

Hanging in Chicago...

"Where the Sea Meets the Sky" (watercolor on paper)

autumn on the Cape - deep blues of the sky and sea and oranges and rust reds of the dunes...

Light After the Storm (watercolor on paper)

"Passing Through" (watercolor on paper)

a brisk fall morning on Cape Cod...

 

It's the simple things in life that make our hearts swell - just a few days ago watching my daughter singing her way up this beautiful dune outside our cottage by the sea with a simple wish to bring shells home. That moment was pure heaven for me. Her voice, the autumn sand under our feet, the beautiful clouds and sea - and the soon to be discovered treasures to bring home.

Until soon...

Saying a quiet peaceful goodbye to our time on the Cape - ...it was the best "hooky" my daughter and I could have chosen for ourselves this Fall.

A bientôt.
