I painted this with total abandon.   I was thinking of the ocean and the warm breezes that come across the water.

 Life Is Sweet  Acrylic 10 X 20    Private Collection

To me  the ocean is always beautiful, even when storms are approaching.   Spending time by   the ocean can be  a  very solitary experience  filled with quiet moments,  providing peaceful memories.  When that time is  shared with close family and friends,  the experience can be  filled with fun and silliness providing   joyful memories.   I love the water, whether lake or ocean,  whether solitary or shared.    Life is sweet when I can spend time by any body of water.

Aspen Forest turned out to be  the perfect piece to work in pastels.  It evolved as I became captivated by the colors that,  although not realistic,  felt “right” as I was working.   Painting a painting as it calls to me always imparts that special something that sets it apart.

This was painted from a still life set up to celebrate spring.  I like the color palette and the freshness of the painting.  It was done quickly which helps to keep a painting fresh.
