No title was coming to mind for this painting, so I posted it to Instagram and Facebook, and asked for suggestions. Dave said, “I like the name bobbles. The thingy on Children's hats as they scurry home before the sunset.” Sabine liked the name “Celestial Lanterns”. Tony suggested “The awakening”, and Michael said,”Paper Lanterns over Sedona.”
My 3 year old Grandson wanted me to call it “Pretzel”. Carol liked “Waking of the Orbs”, and Doug suggested “Reflections from Above”.
It’s interesting to find out what other people see. I may try it again!

Early Sunday morning, I stepped outside to investigate an incredibly loud noise. It was a large flock of crows (some insist a flock of crows is a “murder”, others are just as adamant that it is simply a flock)flying through the trees and cawing to each other. I caught the tail end of their party on my phone…
I looked up the symbolic meaning of crows: Transformation, Change and Prophecy.

Spring Comes Late this Year
Latex and Acrylic on Canvas

$100
Only available as a print on Canvas
Last Saturday, the day after Saint Patricks Day we had quite a storm...not much accumulation, but the wind was howling, and snow was blowing in every direction.
Then the sun popped out.
I had no intentions when I started this one; I was painting merrily along, and turned the canvas upside down. Suddenly I had woods on a hill, and snow…Spring comes late this year.

After I painted this, a photo popped up on Instagram of a rock formation in the Welsh Beacon Brecons called “The Diving Board”. I immediately added it to my list of places to visit. I can only imagine the breathtaking feeling of looking out from the diving board into the wind and the light and the magic!
“Art is our memory of love. The most an artist can do through their work is say, let me show you what I have seen, what I have loved, and perhaps you will see it and love it too.

The Hills series
The following four paintings were all inspired by Arthur Guiterman’s poem, “Hills”. I fell in love with this poem when I was in High School. I lost my paper copy, and searched through poetry books at the library for years. Recently, I thought I’d try again, using the internet this time. So I searched up beginning lines of poems…I never loved your fields, your flat lands, your plains…Bingo!!
Hills
Arthur Guiterman (1871-1943)
I never loved your plains!–
Your gentle valleys,
Your drowsy country lanes
And pleach’d alleys.
I want my hills! — the trail
That scorns the hollow.–
Up, up the ragged shale
Where few will follow,
Up, over wooded crest
And mossy bowlder
With strong thigh, heaving chest,
And swinging shoulder,
So let me hold my way,
By nothing halted,
Until, at close of day,
I stand, exalted,
High on my hills of dream–
Dear hills that know me!
And then, how fair will seem
The lands below me,
How pure, at vesper-time,
The far bells chiming!
God, give me hills to climb,
And strength for climbing!

A tide pool is a shallow pool of seawater. Many of these pools exist as separate bodies of water only at low tide.
Many tide pool habitats are home to especially adaptable animals; sea stars, mussels and clams.
The Smell of Autumn
I love the smell of Autumn; slightly dry and powdered, slightly of earthy and decomposing plants. I love the promise of cooler weather, and I love the colors.

Sedimentary rocks are formed by layer after layer after layer of silt. This painting is definitely Sedimentary! Look closely, and you will discover the fossils of doilies, and polka-dot paper, and layer after layer of paint.

Crow in a wet wood $110.00
One wet Saturday morning there was a murder of crows perched on our wood rack. Moments later, I was reading Louise Fletcher’s email about her book, “Life Force”, in which she based her paintings on the poetry of Ted Hughes. I looked up the poetry of both Mr. Hughes and his wife, Sylvia Plath. Ted Hughes wrote a poem called “the Crow”, and Sylvia Plath wrote a poem called “Black Rook in Rainy Weather”. Too many coincidences in such a short amount of time led to this painting.
