Iced Coffee

Warmer days are for outdoor living.
While out for a walk, I found this fun scene.
Time to take a break from sight seeing or shopping
 to enjoy a favorite beverage. Easy summer living...

Mother

Card I created for my mother for Mother's day.
She always liked birds, so I painted a yellow house finch
in a lilac bush, another of her favorites.
Although my mother's fledglings have all left the nest,
this little mother has three pale blue eggs in her nest.

Fishing Boats on the Beach

When Van Gogh lived in Arles, he took a trip to Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer

on the Mediterranean Sea, where he made several paintings
of the seascape and town.

I painted this from a photo of one of these
Vincent Van Gogh paintings of beached fishing vessels.
The photo was provided by Karen D'Angeac Mihm for her
"Painting the Masters" challenge.

Promise of Spring

The snowy white blossoms of our Asian pear tree
hold the promise of the golden fruit to come this summer.
These blossoms reveal the many 'shades of  white'.
Painted with palette knife and brush,
