Winter Meadow, Pastel, 9x12
The pastel light colors of winter, calm and quiet in the country. I’m wintering by the fire on Sunday morning after a lovely holiday season. I hope your new year is off to a peaceful start too. Greetings from Bonnymede! ❤️

I did it again! I just finished a week of plein air painting at the 10th annual Capitola Plein Air event, and here I am at the Exhibition on Sunday. I’m happy to have completed these paintings by the sea through days of sun, fog and rain. It was an incredible experience of endurance and inspiration. Thank you so much to my friends and students who visited me at the exhibition, my support friends, and to all the volunteers who were so helpful throughout the event!
If you are interested in a new seaside painting, please DM me.
