My NEW Instructional Video
Oh my, how many times have we thought..."when I get through this then all will be ok"? You'd think after so many years I'd realize that being in transition is the norm. We are all experiencing transitions of one kind or another these days and some are even welcome! As I was looking at this cluster of trees/brush I was inspired to paint it and hoped to show it "In Transition Again". By observing nature, we can watch how the Creator reveals that when it appears all hope is gone new life and new beginnings appear! As the light glowed through the old, dry limbs there was fresh, green growth demanding to be seen! Once again another season of transitions and my faith restored! May we remember that we will get through the seasons and it seems best to do it with the Light revealing the way...
As a child growing up I lived in a city in Pennsylvania and I don’t remember ever seeing palm trees. I’m fascinated by them and as a kid I always thought of them representing fun, carefree times, moving gracefully in the summer breezes. As an adult living in Texas all these years (barely remember living anywhere else!) I don’t have to go far to see palms...palms are common in my area . No matter, they still hold a place in my heart saved for dreams and a desire to relax under the summer sun and breezes coming off the water. (Yes , I know what an imagination! Houston’s palms are located anywhere and often in concrete shopping centers!) As a result of my fascination with them I of course have to paint them! I absolutely love the options they have for so many colors! (Yes, there goes my imagination again! Lol!) With this painting I tried to stay closer to the green family but often you will see me adding violet, magenta, orange, etc.! I think we can all use a bit of imagination and a splash of color! I’m grateful for my eyes to be able to see and enjoy these happy plants/trees! Make it colorful! ❤️
Our neighbor used to have this beautiful plant that towered over our fence. Sadly, it no longer exists but fortunately I have many photos of it taken during the many times I was outside with my dog and just waiting for him to “finish”! Why bother talking about this plant and even paint it? Well….I find myself alone quite often as is the case with many artists and so being aware of my surroundings and being grateful for even the simplest of things is a way I try to live my life. The beautiful color of the flowers with the sun shining overhead was such a pleasure to look at and so I have actually painted several views of this plant! I make it a practice to say “Thank You” as I go through my day…if you aren’t walking in gratitude I’d love to suggest it and then maybe share with me how much more enjoyable your days are! (Can’t hurt!) Make it a colorful day!
