The changing clouds of midday and a calm lake greeted me and my painting companion.

Early morning at a nearby park. The pattern of the circle of light in the tree is what attracted me to this scene.

Outside of the cottage that we rented in Michigan last June there was a flower garden full of Irises. By the end of the week, they opened up enough that I could paint one.

It was a sunny, beautiful summer day and I stood on the edge of a porch in the shade.

Turning at an angle on the beach, the same tranquil morning, a different line of wooden posts and the waves washing rhythmically on the shore. Â I was getting chilly, but was busy painting and only noticed when I had finished how cold I had become!

The sky was beautiful and the contrast and reflection made by the remains of the wooden posts interested me. Â It was a cold morning and I was bundled up to paint.

It was the type of beautiful relaxing evening that one might look for when traveling to the beach.  The beach was crowded as some finished their day of play and others came by to wait for sunset.

Another chance to paint with my feet in the sand. Â It shouldn’t matter what your feet are in while you paint, but there is something so comfortable and relaxing about having your feet in sand. Â I would back up to see the painting from further away and then go back to my position at the easel. Â My feet would dig back into the sand and I picked up my tool of brush or knife again.
The pattern of the clouds drew me into the scene on the edge of the water.
Near to the cottage where we were staying was a public beach that became a great place to paint in the evening. Â After the painting was over, we could enjoy the sunset.
