Each season has it's own gifts, and winter is no exception. It's a great time to be in the studio, re-visiting subjects and locations from earlier in the year, in new ways.   I have a chance to explore nuances of color and expression that painting on location doesn't allow.  

In this painting I used the brush and paint to express the

lightness of spirit I feel when I see poppies in bloom.

It seems like we all make things harder than they have to be.  In my case, what to say about this painting? Thinking of how it came to be - Rheta's wonderful "cheese sandwich", with great conversation on the side, the glorious coral-colored quince in full bloom in her garden, how gardener's share plants, and tips, and meanings and nuances and stories - just like writers and artists, poets and friends and family.   and, of course the painting speaks for me, and says all of that and more.   

What do you make "harder than it has to be"???!!
