The lack of posts does not represent a lack of painting! Along with painting for myself, I have enjoyed teaching watercolors to my students this fall in the series "Painting a Hearty Harvest." It seems like fall is exploding around me and my inner rhythm still has some summer paintings pulsing inside. Since I love finding inspiration in the kaleidoscope beauty of God's creation, which is ever changing, I'll put my brush to paper and capture what is calling to my heart, in season or out of season!
Painting demos for my students for this current series of classes often identified as "autumn" subjects: grapes, pumpkins, squash and luscious apples. Tomorrow is the last class in this series and we will be painting one of my favorite subjects - autumn leaves. Demonstrating for my classes keeps me learning.

In September I had the privilege to "garden sit" for a friend who has created an amazingly beautiful garden. These are some of the paintings from that experience. I loved her little sign "giggle." I had fun carrying it around the garden and taking photos of it with different plants. I think God wants us to enjoy His creation and even giggle! These were whimsical fun!
This lily was my attempt to capture the setting sun shining through the blossom like a stain glass window. Light electrifies all it touches and I'm trying catch some of that in early morning, late afternoon photos and paintings.
I think you know how much I like grapes....Now, you've got me admiring the pumpkin/gourds, etc. And the "giggle" sign is quite special. If I lived closer, I'd definitely be one of those people "concentrating" around the table :)
