Here is another painting of the set up I did a while back with poinsettia leaves. This time in oil.  Inspired by Qiang Huang's beautiful still lifes.  I wish I could master his economy of brushstrokes!!

Early Morning Mist

Oil on canvas

This scene was painted from a photo my husband took just across the street in the horse paddocks.  It was very early and the morning mist was lifting from the previous night's dew.  The big challenge was creating a mist that seemed transparent.

Is there anything better than watching children play on the beach?  Or remembering when you were one? Your dad lifting you over the big waves at the very last second. The unexpected 'crunch' of a little sand in your tuna sandwich. Happy, screeching children. Seagulls wheeling and swooping, searching for food neglected.  Digging moats and trenches into the heavy, wet sand to control the uncontrollable tides.   Salt-scented air, warm sticky sand.  You emerge nearly numb from the Maine ocean to drop belly-down on your warm towel.  Hoping, as you drift to sleep, that you won't get too burned.  I'd go back there if I could.

There are lots of lighthouses along Maine's rocky coast, all the way up into New Brunswick. I know they can be cliche', but they are still poignant and beautiful.  Thank you Ron for the photo.
