Summer is almost here

Rebecca's Purple Feet, pastel, 9x12, 2006

There is something about climbing on rocks that I just love.  Climbing on rocks in water is even better.  With this picture, I was thinking about the process of looking for a foothold, a stable place to stand.  Sometimes you have to take a step at an awkward angle.  The intense blue and purple is there just because I liked it.

Time to Relax

Self Portrait, watercolor, 9x12, 2009

 Ah, Saturday.  A chance to put my feet up.  Not quite warm enough for bare feet today like it was when I painted this picture, but a beautiful sunny fall day.  I hope you also have some relaxation time today.
