Lovely June










In the grey summer garden I shall find you   
 With day-break and the morning hills behind you.   
There will be rain-wet roses; stir of wings;   
And down the wood a thrush that wakes and sings.   
Not from the past you'll come, but from that deep
Where beauty murmurs to the soul asleep:   
And I shall know the sense of life re-born   
From dreams into the mystery of morn   
Where gloom and brightness meet. And standing there   
Till that calm song is done, at last we'll share
The league-spread, quiring symphonies that are   
Joy in the world, and peace, and dawn’s one star.

Idyll- by Siegfried Sassoon







Wishing you all an abundance of sunshine, good health,
safe travels and long warm summer days.

New paintings for spring




 Emerging from a monochrome
winter,
color finds its way
into new paintings

Mid November



"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree” Emily Bronte 


Nature's palette continues to change.

Nut browns and pale wheat.

This Morning with Bees


Sitting at your level today
on the ground,
I smell what you smell
and feel
the same sun
 warming our backs

 your blurry shape
tumbles
 among late summer
 blossoms
