Sunflower Field

I am missing the fields full of sunflowers now that winter has arrived. There is something magical about living somewhere where you can tell what month it is by what's growing (or not) in the fields. When your dinner conversation involves "they harvested the tomatoes today" or "the sunflowers are now gone", you feel a connection even if you're not actually farming the land. For me, it makes the passing of time less jarring..more fluid. A continuum.

Tumbleweeds in Training

What do you do when stuck in a car for 8 hours driving back from Southern California? If you're me, you take pictures. Lots and lots of pictures. I happen to love power lines and tumbleweed bushes, so it's all good. I enjoyed painting this in a vertical format to emphasize the sky. Plus, it may be the perfect fit for a special spot in someone's home.

Down the Road

A little one I managed to whip out today. I enjoyed painting the perspective and the end of summer colors that make me think maybe, just maybe Fall is coming.

Ok...now where was I?

Sorry to be away so long. We took an amazing two week vacation to Alaska. It was breathtakingly beautiful up there. Words can't really describe it. A place like no other. I look forward to devouring my photos for good shots to paint from. All 684 of them. I just kept snapping..I didn't want to miss anything!
