In search of Trilliums...

In search of some trilliums before they disappear …
Found some white ones…
Hoping to find some red ones too…
But I have just learnt they come in light pink as well as yellow…
Sigh … nature is varied and more beautiful than I can keep up 😆
Enjoy the warmth of the sun on your backs but let it not burn you🌻☀️🕊

Front Yard Spring Offerings...

Always travelling somewhere to paint…
Wait a minute…
How about painting my own front yard spring offerings… 😆

Spring has arrived in Ukraine too…
But it is overshadowed by bomb-blasted ruins and war debris…
May the tiniest flower bring renewed belief …
In their reinstating a peaceful beautiful Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏🏽🌻💙💛

Mother's Day 2022...

Scheduled myself to paint with seniors on Mother’s Day…
In case there was some Moms who didn’t have anyone to celebrate with for whatever reason..
Only one senior attended…
Whom I was so pleased and grateful to paint with..
It was nice to see the driveway busy with children picking up and returning their Moms after a day of fun celebration…
Remember every day is Mother’s Day…
Keep the flowers coming … 😁
Have a beautiful sunny day, dear friends ☀️❤️🌈

First Boat Painting of the season...

​After painting the soft, gently swaying graceful willow tree…
I thought I would try painting my first boat of the season …
Some hard contour lines but just as graceful a subject matter…
The harbinger of summery days ahead…

May the incoming summer be celebrated with the same ecstasy all over the globe…🙏🏽🌻🇺🇦🕊

Willow tree awakening to Spring...

Forecast is high probability for rain…
So found a bridge to paint under…
It never did rain…
But it was well worth it…
Saw a willow tree with fresh yellow green graceful branches …

Noticed I made it too sunny yellow…
Just like a kid who has been told to hold off dipping into the ice cream all winter …
I couldn’t wait any longer to dip into my pile of sunny cadmium yellow 😂

Contrast that with a clean white swan nonchalantly gliding by…
Without a care in the world…
Wonder what’s happened to all the wild life in bomb blasted Ukraine …
May you return to exist without a care in the world… 🕊💙💛🙏🏽🌻

From the Shelter of my car...

My hope for a warmer April was not to be…
So ended painting from the car 🚗

I heard on the news how this brave Ukrainian man is using his car to ferry out survivors from his home town, Popasna..
Where anything that moved was shelled…

May his moving vehicle be protected from any attacks…
May his courage continue to reign over his fear…
While I sit in the warm comfort of my car 🙏🏽💙💛🇺🇦🕊

Nice to see some buddies enjoying a day out by the water…
Had to paint them in of course!
Never taking freedom for granted…
Never taking fresh air for granted…
Never taking peaceful times for granted…

Seems Different...

I return to the place I’ve been before..
But it looks a little different and a little unfamiliar..
Guess it was in a different time, a different season of a different year..
I am a little different myself…
Influenced by the happenings between now and then..
Some welcomed, some not as much…
But I know it will all seem good…
When I stand back far enough… 😂
I look up and it has started to snow… in April? Stay warm, dear friends
Remembering all the soldiers fighting for freedom in the snow
🇺🇦💛💙🌻🕊🙏🏽

Dancing shadows...

Usually much prefer to paint standing…
But had to take shelter from the strong winds…
Didn’t see a painting in this scene at first..
But then saw the dancing shadows on the ground…

Surreal that I experience so much peace while painting this…
While knowing there is so much suffering and destruction in another place like Ukraine…
May this bubble of peace I am fortunate to be enveloped in…
Grow larger and larger to drape over our entire globe of humanity…
May there be quietitude…
May there be loving kindness…
May we see each other as part of the same fabric of life…
May love prevail ☀️🌈🙏🏽💙💛🌻
