howdy

 Howdy, I am back after a pleasant but long drive.  We drove down to Kentucky to visit family and there is something so wonderful about seeing family, farm land and wide open spaces.
It was hot.  So much hotter than I remember growing up.

Even though this artist painted these images from an aerial perspective - there is such an appreciation for the patchwork of fields and water that make up this land.  

Driving also gives one a chance to meet various people along the way and greet them with a "hey" or a "howdy."

Sunday driver

"It's a new dawn, it's a new day"

We are on the road today, headed out for a "Sunday drive" with a list of things to see and do.
I have always found it exhilerating snapping photos, trying to capture the beauty of what I see.

Not to worry, I am in the passenger seat.

Hope you take time out for a little Sunday drive.

Landscapes and the hue of dawn invigorate my soul.

October goes

Autumn is such a spectacular season, full of color, falling leaves, cooler temps and all the bounty of fresh apples, pumpkins, root vegetables and the clarity of the light, and then October goes and Novembers enters.

Always in season, are wonderful landscapes painted by my dear friend Geoffrey and beloved painting prof. asked if I would mind to post his work for him as he has a few paintings.

Can you tell that he really is passionate about landscape painting. When I began attending classes, there were a few and now there are many paintings. I think some of them need good homes. It never hurts to ask, so if you or anyone you know might be in the market for some original oils, landscapes that show the force of life, the sheer beauty of nature....let me know. I thought I might just ask.

What a wonderful gift these would make. The above canvas is a "large" new work, not yet finished, but to see the process, and to appreciate the gift he has for all seasons.

Take a look at Geoffrey Barbey's site here. You will be delighted with his work.
