"Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides."

The mantra of an artist.

This time of the year, nature gives me  the most beautiful shadows pouring through my bay windows in the early evening.

Enjoy the beauty around you.

PACIFIC SUNDOWN, 4X12, OIL, SOLD

It seems odd to me to see the sun set over the ocean.  In Florida, of course, it is just the opposite.  But, thanks to Shelley Smart I was able to paint this sunset.

Sometimes, I like to put my artwork in places other than on the walls.

Hope you're happy when the sun goes down today!

MY FAVORITE PLACE, 4X8, OIL

How glorious a greeting the sun gives the mountains! ~John Muir

This is how I welcome the morning, sitting on my porch, watching the sun peek over the mountain and flooding the old dogwood tree with light.

John Muir was speaking of the wilderness of California, but he may well have witnessed these mornings in Carolina.
