River inspiration

Sometimes it's good to go back to your photo albums, especially when the temperatures are hovering around 15 degrees and remember that the beauty of some aspects of winter is that there is always a spring!

Actually this photo image was taken in the early fall  at the base of the Kerr-Scott dam and the amount of bird groups was amazing.

The wild flowers were all the fall aster variety and beautifully stunning in their yellow colors.
An inspiration to go to the studio and paint!

Pohicke Bay, Potomac River in Virginia

Lovely, huh? One big advantage to camping is being able to hike trails and capture an image like this. Beautiful May weather along the banks of the Pohicke Bay of the Potomac. Easily reachable from the campgrounds of the Virginia State Park. Geese were nearby and HUGE fish were swirling around the banks among the tops of submerged trees. A great spot to unwind.

No (sigh) , I have not painted it yet....I have to make sure the commissions are completed first!

Since arriving back in NC on Tuesday, I have been kept busy with the usual details that come with running a business!

However I am not too busy to realize the weather is warmer, the wild roses are blooming......... and it's time to go paint!
