Another peaceful day at Linda Lane.
The crowds have vanished, and I want to share this beautiful stretch of beach with you today.

It's a New Day!

I love how with every sunrise is a fresh start.  A new day.

What treasures await in the opportunities the new day brings?

This little girl was having so much fun running around at low tide.  She didn't have any playmates, just her mom and dad that stood close by.  She sure didn't seem to miss out on any joy... just her and the ocean was all she needed to be entertained.

I love the pink glow that consumes the sky just after the sun sets.
It creates a variety of luminous color in the reflection on the water that I never tire of observing.
I look forward to a fresh new palette of color with it's own variations at the end of each day.

Lavender Fields

I was looking through a few paintings I had done earlier last year and came across this one that needed a few tweeks to call it done.  A friend of mine, Kristy, had shared some photos of her road trip to Montana and this one beckoned to be painted.  I loved the way she captured the low light and the vantage point from her laying low in the field spanning across the lavender to the hills in the distance.  The strong contrasted tree line that opens on the right welcome us to venture to that far off field.
