Welcome to my Art Blog! I paint or draw most weekdays and often finish a painting a day. I fondly call them my "Postcards from Paradise" because it's such a beautiful place the Lord made here for us.

The days are getting a little longer and we've had sunshine, and color too. These sunset colors were a joy to behold.

This is a very nice study, Diana.
Feel like I'm there ready to go inside from the porch and have a coffee.

Diana, I really like the sky in this painting. Thanks for sharing. Jerry Hardesty

Yes, that would be a great view from a porch, Bill! Too bad it's not mine, but I do have a nice view of mountains. It's even warm enough right now to sit outside and sip a little coffee on a sunny afternoon.

Thanks, Jerry. That turquoise sky backdrop was what made me want to paint this little study.

I love these clouds...very dreamy!

Ah yes, dreamy indeed... I think that opal sky at last light really does set the mood for relaxing for the evening!
