It’s no secret that one of my favorite things to paint is water. Maybe it’s because I’m an Aquarius, but I think it’s deeper than that. I do better when I’m close to water – my spirit relaxes and I seem to breathe better. In these days of extreme weather, I’m more conscious than ever of the critical nature of having fresh, clean water. After years of living through drought conditions in North Dakota, I will never take access to fresh water for granted. And after a long, hot dry spell in July, I’m so thankful for this week of rain. Three different days, it just poured rain – straight down with no wind, and we got nearly 6 inches of rain. The rain barrels are full again and the gardens have a new life. So thankful!
This week’s painting, Light of Day, 9” x 11” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, captures a sailboat in the early morning light.
