I am going to rolling out a handful or so of some small spirit paintings all 5 x 7 in oil. Starting with this Black eyed Susan Painting.
It was painted with love, capturing the joyful, colorful, giggling essence of blackeyed susans.

The beauty never ends, the greetings are always new. Everyday the sun shines, every moment is unique.
Here is Light of the Sun, a beautiful, 8in x 10in oil painting of the sun getting ready to set as it dissolved the summer sky and shimmered it’s way through my rose of sharon.
This piece was painted entirely plein air, on site over a matter of days and many mosquito bitten hours. Those little pesks love dusk to come out and attack. Just so happens that is one of my favorite times to paint too.
It was a battle, but I won. winks.
All the very best,
Rebecca

It was a perfect, breezy Summer day.

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.”

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.
detail pics.
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

Here is Purple Ornamentals.8″ x 10″oil, plein air on heavy primed watercolor paper
I love these new works because they come directly from nature in an Andy Goldsworthy kind of way.If you haven’t heard of this artist, please google his name to find out more and I recommend his Rivers and Tides Dvd Documentary. That gives a beautiful first hand encounter with the artist, and how he works with nature.
I’m busy getting ready for Dine with the artist, tomorrow night.
I send you all my best.Rebecca

First I want to thank Maria and Toni Carosi from Magnesia Core for contacting me and sending me some samples of their product to paint on.
Maria first contacted me online about their product and Toni quickly shipped out a handful of 12″ x 12″ panels.
This is a 5″ x 7″ painting in oil plein air of Daisies on Magnesiacore.
Here is my first painting on this kind of panel.Previously I have used masonite wood panels for works.
These handle very nicely and have a ceramic feel to them that is light, sturdy and pleasing.
Cutting them down was very easy, I had only to measure, score and snap.I did prime my panels with gesso and it absorbed the medium well.
I have waiting in the wings some small pendant size pieces to paint on.
and will be reviewing the panels more as I paint some different subjects and color ideas.
You can read more about their product here.http://www.magnesiacore.com/art
and as their website states:
Magnesiacore is a flexible ceramic sponge that is dense but airy with fine microscopic pores that support all media, paints, oils, stains, watercolours and adhesives with 26% absorption and a feel suggestive of soap stone.
Thank you again sincerely, Maria and Toni for the opportunity [ ... ]

Here is a refreshing piece for me,I titled it Stone and Sun,it measures 24″ x 36″ and was completed entirely out doors on site, alla prima plein air.Although it’s highly untraditional,It embodies my term Natural Abstract.
and here are a couple detail pictures
This piece was a much needed break. I enjoyed letting my mind relax and capture the movement of the sun and patterns of the shadows. It is something I am going to continue to explore.
