While painting this piece, I couldn't stop remembering the time my husband and I, drove PCH from San Francisco to Carmel. What an experience!! <br />
<br />
If you have never done it, I highly recommend the trip. You will be hard pressed to duplicate the beautiful scenic landscape elsewhere.<br />
<br />

I think this has a slightly "romantic"feel about it, quite different than my usual pieces. I kept the brushwork and the colors softer than my usual works.<br />
<br />
When I first started painting, there were so many rules to learn. I never knew what the finished piece would look like and usually started without a specific feel in mind. After all these years, I am finally feeling a little control in my work, but, oh so much more to learn!<br />
<br />
I know for me, this is the appeal of painting, always trying to challenge myself and escalate my skills. Very frustrating and also very rewarding and ALWAYS interesting!<br />
<br />
Have a great day!<br />

Away from the hustle and bustle of life, the job, the town, .......just everything?<br />
<br />
This little painting, is my idea of that perfect get away. It's on a quiet mountain road, snuggled up under the trees, but not so far from civilization that I would not want to be there alone. In other words.....PERFECT!<br />

I was in the Land O' Trees, better known as western North Carolina, when I painted this. In the summertime, I get green overload here. Green mountains, green grass, green leaves. You cannot escape green. Maybe that is why doing a purple and blue landscape appealed to me. More to come!<br />

It was a beautiful day, and not long after this hike, we had a picnic. Yummy sandwiches on home made bread, fresh fruit, delicious apple cake from the orchard, and a beautiful view. Life at it's best!<br />

I stumbled across this old post, and thought I would show it again, as it seems very cheerful, during these trying times. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
Last month we were enjoying our condo in North Carolina, trying to get it ready for visits from family and friends. It is so beautiful here during at least three of the four seasons. I have not been here in winter and cannot speak to that, although I imagine the snow covered mountains would be a sight to behold.<br />
<br />
On this trip, there are flowers blooming everywhere. Each morning, I set out for a walk, with my trusty camera in hand. Come along with me.......<br />

There was always one or two postcards from McKee Gardens in Vero Beach. She awakened a deep desire in me.....to live in this strange and beautiful tropical land.<br />

Recently I made my first trip to McGee Gardens, a magical place filled with tropical flora and giant water lily pads.<br />

I was fascinated with the bamboo stands, so abstract in their shapes.<br />
