Dapple Challenge

One early morning last summer, I photographed the breeze coming through the open kitchen window. The shadow play on the curtains caught my attention, the sun rises to the right of the window and casts long, gray shadows on the softly moving curtains. It is quite a calming, meditative state of mind, that I hope I captured in this painting. I never knew the word for these shadows was dapple.

Listen

A gorgeous fall day. My garden hydrangeas are a stunning pink now, in July they were white. Last call in the North East for nice weather.

Hope

Fall is in the air, the temperature drop from last Thursday was very obvious. Soon the colorful flowers will be replaced by colorful leaves. A time of reflection and hope. The changes in my life, have changed me over the last few years. I hope I am a better person, I have learned so much from my children....Patience, kindness, acceptance and forgiveness. Most of all inclusion and understanding of differences, we each have our story. We each add value to life and the world.
