A quiet get away.

I finally could hear the birds start to chirp at 4:30 this morning.

The last 2 days I have been waking up to rain or pouring rain which can be a sweet sound.

The temperature has been in the 50’s but today it’s reaching in the 80’s. It’s humid and windy at times. In the sky I can see the clouds just roll by with blue sky in-between.

When the wind blows, the leaves on the trees roar and flutter over and over and slowly come to a still just for a moment.

I am enjoying my view here in the woods. Green foliage and high birch trees reaching high to the sky and clouds. The sun comes and goes very quickly as I snap some pictures.

The birds sound happy that it’s not raining and so am I.

It might be too windy to take the boat out quite yet.

I thought it would be nice to take a break from everything so we found a place up north to stay. Once we reached the main town it took us about 10 minutes to arrive at some unincorporated town and from there you take a right and you go straight north for 20 minutes. As you go down the road you lose all road lines until you finally get to the dirt road and then just go a little further and your here.

Up north:)

Getting on and off the lake

This is one of my in-process paintings.

I am using a combination of three pictures to create this one painting.

I feel like it is telling a story.

I like the look of the water and sky,

but I need to really work on the trees and obscure the buildings a little more.

This Random Lake is 10 minutes away from where I live.

I love this lake.

We go swimming here all summer.

You can catch some really nice large and small mouth bass,

and we have seen people catch and release musky.

I can’t wait to finish this painting.

I’m not a fast painter

I work in oils, so I need time in-between for my painting to dry

so, I usually have a lot of paintings going at one time.

Color is my day long obsession.

Color is my day long obsession, joy and torment.

-Claude Monet

These are the last two paintings that I started.

I plan to submit 14 total. +/-

I need to get them all done in one month

so in my mind I think I have plenty of time.
