Emerging From the Clouds

"But now the clouds in airy tumult fly; the sun, emerging, opes an azure sky; 

a fresher green the smiling leaves display, and glittering as they tremble, cheer the day."

-Thomas Parnell 

Happy New Year, friends...may it bring you much peace, love, and happiness.

And Then I Saw Flowers

Sometimes you don't know what will appear until it's right in front of you.

I rarely know what a painting will end up looking like. This one started as a face I wasn't particularly fond of, then an abstract, and then I saw flowers.

Joyful

Layers upon layers upon layers. This was a wonderful revisiting of the whimsical style I first fell in love with. Such joy!

Under the Night Sky

It's how it feels right now, sitting in my house looking outside. This Central Texas storm is so fully blocking the sunlight this mid-afternoon. When the clouds first crept in my inner voice whispered that it must be closing in on bedtime.

I've always loved a dramatic storm...full of thunder, lightning, and Noah-worthy rains. As a teenager I'd run out to my car during a storm, sit inside it listening to that Black Sabbath song, you know, the one that starts with the storm sounds, and I'd listen to it until the storm outside out-volumed the car speakers' capability.

Always in awe of Mother Nature....
