Summer for an artist/educator/counselor is a time to kick back, breathe deeply and create, create, create! Sometimes my paintings well up from deep within and seem to splash onto the canvas like ocean waves. I tend to complete most paintings in one day and often in one marathon sitting (sometimes stretching into the wee hours of the morning). Then the creative energy ebbs, like the sea, until another creative wave comes crashing in.
The beach always recharges my soul and energizes my spirit. I just love to paint the many moods of the ocean. Serenity is a painting/note card that reveals my favorite summer hangout. I can’t help but find Serenity in the ever changing yet timeless beauty of the sea. The deep blue tones and fresh whites are beautifully enhanced by the pearl border in this note card in the Sea Dreams Collection.
More next week,
