Basking in the Sun

Acrylics on professional gallery-wrapped canvas. This boat that is my land amid the water, is as bright as the last berry of summer. I feel the wind, gusting with the tempo of a fiddle, dancing with long and short bows, punctuated by soulful silence. I watch the billowed sail, rippling the same as the water around, always ready to propel us onward. Under this rising sun I have watched the mast shadow grow and fade, yet it is a pale form of darkness and nothing at all to compare to the brilliance of stars in the night. “There may be shadows in the sunlight, my love, but there will always be stars at night.” Size: 24×48 inches

A thin wet sky, that yellows at the rim, And meets with sun-lost lip the marsh’s brim. The pools low lying, dank with moss and mould, Glint through their mildews like large cups of gold.

Emily Johnson beautifully captures the spirit in her poem, “Marshlands”, the essential message of this gorgeous painting in oil pastels. I feel drifting along the wetlands without any purpose except pure golden bliss. Medium: Oil pastels on pastel sheet. Size: 18x24

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight We're happy tonight Walking in a winter wonderland Gone away is the bluebird Here to stay is a new bird To sing a love song While we stroll along Walking in a winter wonderland Size: 24x36

On a sunny summer day, a modest bridge surrounded by trees sits above the reflecting greenish lake exuding an air of tranquility in the middle of prospering flora. Green occupies a majority of the space in the painting. Trees, grass, and the bridge dominate the water and the sky, which conveys a message about the strength of natural life.
