Marsh Wren

6" by 6" original oil on gallery wrap canvas with sides painted.

I enjoyed painting this bird with all the subtle browns and colors all lit up in the sunlight. I can only imagine the sense of peace these creatures must feel. If only we spent our days focused on the moment that intensely. The times that we do like when we are watching a sunset, walking in the woods, looking into the eyes of a loved one, paying attention to our own breath, bring a feeling of peace and connectness. With practice and attention we can increase those moments throughout the day. Hope your day today is filled with many peaceful moments!

Baltimore Oriole

6" by 6" original oil on wrap around canvas with 1 and a half inch sides painted.

Can you believe we are half way to the weekend again? Today was a beautiful sunny day here in Chesapeake. We had five straight days of rain without let up. Guess all the spring flowers are happy. Hope you will check out what I wrote in my listing about the birds and flowers. Have a wonderful day and don't forget to hug someone!

Life Is Good!

9" by 12" original oil on wrap around canvas with sides painted.

Awwwww aren't they cute! Young love is so sweet....actually it is pretty darn sweet at any age. Hope you had the chance to hug someone today! I have been thinking of when my boys were little and how often I gave and received hugs! No wonder people flip when they have their first grandchild. We humans need that contact and thrive on it. Teenagers are not quite as into hugs but if you catch them at the right moment....they might not admit it but they like it too! I think I need to go hug my teenager. :-) It is a wonderful stress reducer and helps keep us grounded in the moment. Just remember....life is good!!!!
