Basking in the Sun

Acrylics on professional gallery-wrapped canvas. A snowy landscape is one of Nature’s simplest creations, beauty rendered in clear white with long, slender shadows and sculptured shapes. Their patterns are reflected in the snow or silhouetted against the sky. I love the warmth and glow of the shy sun against the stark whiteness of snow and pinkish sky. Size: 36×36 inches

Acrylics on professional gallery-wrapped canvas. My inspiration for this painting canes from the following poetic lines from Gerry Lagister’s poem:

"Streams in the desert" When hours had pass with painful cross I travelled on till I could go no further, Then at last; in all the pain of sad losses, I rest serene beneath the tranquil power. God gave me quietness and assurance To drink from the stream in the desert And wash my feet press sore in peace, That they in grief may walk in the spirit.

Acrylics on professional gallery-wrapped canvas. The winter palette’s colors are vivid though subdued. A snowy winter landscape reveals a range of icy colors, from crystal-white hills and fields to creamy yellow sunlight on snow to the light blue-purple of shadows or the silvery blue-gray of tiny brooks. The tans, browns, and forest greens stand out against a white backdrop. On the horizon, these colors make a winter blue sky all the more tingly and brilliant, or at other times serene.

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
