Laundry Day

Today is a crisp, clean ,bright day . The kind of day one would hang clothes out on the line and when they were brought in they smelled just wonderful. Do you remember those days? Today is like that if only I had a clothes line. I just walked home about 25 blocks and the wind pushed me all the way up 5th Avenue. I made great time. A good day indeed.
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
This painting reminds me of a day just like this one. I hope you enjoy it.

Brassiere

There are Brassieres all over Paris, one more colorful than the next. I hope you enjoy my impression of this one. I hope you are able to set aside some time today to spend time with a friend or loved one. Those relationships are so important in ones life.
Thank you for spending some time with me today. :-D

Very Busy

It seems we are all so busy these days. This waiter included.
My friend Nancy and I spent lots of time taking pictures of waiters while we were in Paris and you will many more or them in upcoming posts. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city they just have a way of standing out in their crisp black and white attire ; while their customers listen to their hearts and stop to rest a spell. I hope you enjoy this beautiful day and have a chance to stop and rest a bit during all your busyness . Thanks for spending a few minutes with me . I hope you enjoy this painting.

Waiter

This is one of many paintings with waiters and is a possibility for the cover of my next watercolor book Watercolors of France. These folks just pop out of the city landscape, crisp black and white and serving those who came to sit and rest a bit.
This brings to my mind, Who can I serve or encourage today ? Who can you ? I hope you have a wonderful day and that you bring joy to those around you today. Thanks for spending time with me today looking at my blog.

A Walk Through Tuileries

Well reality set in this morning as I was out on my morning walk here in NYC. I was walking down Park Avenue and passed a black suburban motorcade with police escort and an ambulance following behind. In the back seats were armed guards looking out the opened windows looking at those of us on the sidewalk . It was sobering. For those of you who are unaware the UN is in session this week and the city is under high alert. We surely are living in tumultuous times.
I am so grateful my faith is in the Lord God who gives me His peace and joy. I hope this painting of Tuileries gives you a sense of joy and peace of a relaxing summer day. I had fun painting it.

Colorful French Wheels

Hi, Welcome back to my blog. I am so glad you are here as I will be sharing the paintings I did from my recent trip to France. This one is called Colorful French Wheels and I saw them everywhere. I am drawn to color, especially color that seems to pop out in the midst of a gray landscape like Manhattan where I spend most of my time. Well Paris was no different. Paris is a beautiful city and these Vespa's were everywhere and I was immediately drawn to them.
I hope as you go about your day you will be aware of all the color God has placed around you and I hope it makes you smile as it does me.

Fly Fishing

As summer ends and school get back into session I find myself getting back into more of a routine. My bible study starts back next week and I am excited about that. I have also been working on a web site this summer. I am still trying to connect it to this blog and waiting for tech help with that but my artist friend Dreama told me to take it slow and I am heeding her advice. Slowly but surely it will all fall into place. Hopefully all the kinks will be out by sometime next week. After that I am planning on posting my watercolors from my trip to France that I took in May. That was a wonderful adventure.
The water on Bantam Lake here in Litchfield Connecticut is still overflowing it's banks from the recent hurricane but the good news is our boat is still afloat. I hope you enjoy looking at "Fly Fishing"

and that is brings you a sense of peace, quiet and balance as we all gear up for fall once again.
