I leave you with this quote.

“To see the world in a grain of sand

And heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of you hand

And eternity in an hour.”

-William Blake

Sun Daze

The glow of the summer’s sun is irresistible.
In this moment the sunlight glistened off the full green leaves with little gems of light, shimmering, dancing and giggling.

Morning Song
5 x 7 in oil on magnesiacore panel

Painted plein air in the early morning.

It was beautiful to have the sun coming up behind me, dancing upon the leaves and blossoms.

For the past 6 months or so I’ve working with the idea of having “eyes to see” the beauty around you.

I just found this poem that I have to share with you.

Nature is painting for us,

day after day,

pictures of infinite beauty

if only we have the eyes to see them.

— John Ruskin

Wishing you a wonderful day.

Before and after the Rain
5″ x 7″
oil on magnesiacore panel

This rain storm came in with a downpour.

I ran for cover but my painting still got some rain drops on the fresh paint in the right hand upper side and I decided to keep them.

You can see them in this detail photo.

The storm only lasted about 15 minutes so I headed back out and finished .

Our beautiful Rose of Sharon is in gorgeous bloom this summer.

Don’t let a day go by without giving someone a smile, they’re free!

All the best,

Rebecca

I wanted to update everyone on the Lavender Fest.
I had a wonderful time although the rain kept drizzling down I didn’t set up or paint.
I took some pictures that I’ll paint from and will be returning when the skies are brighter.
Here’s one of the rows of Lavender and you can see the storm clouds coming.

and another this time a close up of the Lavender.

I did treat myself to a small Provence Lavender plant.

Chat soon,
Rebecca Make it a Beautiful day.

If you’re out and about this coming weekend be sure to stop by the

The Fourth Annual Ohio Lavender Festival 2008

presented by Day Break Lavender Farm.

I’m going out to paint either Saturday or Sunday depending on the weather.
I love Lavender as my good friend in business can tell you, Robin who sells these delicious
pillows of lavender.

I am so looking forward to painting somewhere new and finding the perfect plants to bring home for our garden.

Have a beautiful week,
Rebecca
