This has been a great week. I've been able to accomplish a lot and fulfilled part of my goal for this month of painting sunrises and clouds...

My daughter Sage and I have been getting up while it is still dark and driving to Guthrie Lake to walk most mornings. We usually both have our cameras and the sunrises have been incredibly beautiful! I think it's meaningful that the word "august" means inspiring reverence or admiration; of supreme dignity or grandeur; majestic…

The inspiration for this painting was from a photo that I took last year in September. I was on my way to Guthrie lake one evening and had to stop by the side of the road to take a photo of the beautiful clouds that day. I have wanted to paint sky scenes for a long time now, and I'm really enjoying capturing the awesomeness of God's handiwork in the heavens.
I completed three mini paintings to take to the gallery. They will also be for sale in my Etsy shop. If you hover over the images the captions will show up. :)

This is one of those large aloe plants that twist and turn in strange positions. It sits on a railroad tie on my patio. It appears to be falling out of the pot, but it is actually well rooted. This was a fun painting to do outside from still life.
And the last one for the week was a commission from a very old friend of mine. I met her for the first time when I was 13 living in Saudi Arabia. She asked me if I could paint a beach scene from the town we lived in Ras Tanura on the Persian Gulf with her and her sisters and mother when they were young. This would have been back in the 60's...

I really had to use my imagination for this one. The girls in the front I took from a photo she sent me of the girls decorating a Christmas tree. Everything was pieced together from different photos. I like the way it turned out. I know she is happy with it. It's a sweet gift for her mother.
So that's it for this week. Hope you enjoyed reading about it. I hope the second week turns out as well. :)
