Capturing Waves!

With the coming of March, I’m beginning to feel recharged. The days are longer and the first of the gardening catalogs arrived so that surely means that Spring is on the way! Paul is already weary of hearing my ideas for digging up new garden spaces when the snow melts!

He and “The Boys” – our grown sons/son-in-law, Keith, Jack, Luke and grandson, Andrew – returned last week from a fabulous time (did I capitalize that?) in Alaska! It was truly the trip of a lifetime for all of them – snow-covered mountains against a backdrop of blue skies, abundant wildlife within camera range, riding the Alaska train, snowboarding at Alyeska, seeing Denali on a clear day, and all the wonderful activities that surround the wild and wooly annual Fur Rendezvous in Anchorage. And after four snowstorms swept through Minnesota and Wisconsin while they were gone, the women in our family were ready for them to come back and share in the shoveling!

This week, I’m working to capture the elusive attributes of waves! Titled, Rocks and Waves, this week’s painting is 8” x 13” and seeks to capture waves rolling into the shoreline and splashing on a rock wall out to a lighthouse.
