Peek A Boo

 Sunflowers galore at this time of year. Inland a bit from the coast they're everywhere, and they're gorgeous. Wanted to try another looser, fun approach to painting them. So here's what I got! Hope you like the playful energy in these joyful flowers.

Sunflower Joy


My husband, Glenn and I, recently returned from a wonderful vacation in Oregon, where we had a chance to visit family and friends. It was such a delightful respite given the extremely warm weather, combined with many inviting lakes, streams, and swimming pools.
Living here on the Mendocino Coast, it's rare to get a warm enough Summer day to even want to go swimming! Another great surprise was seeing so many lively, bright sunflowers. Some of the most beautiful ones lived in the Community Garden in Springfield. I took a ton of photos knowing I wouldn't have time to paint while I was there. Now that I'm home I've gotten busy creating sunflower paintings and hope to continue along this trend for awhile. They're so much fun to play around with given their whimsical character. Hope you like them!

Afterglow


My daily inspiration living here on the Mendocino Coast is the ocean, in all it's ever-changing glory.
What good fortune I've had getting to live in these magnificent surroundings for such a long time. I hope this painting brings you the sense of magic and splendor that you can always find here in northern California.
