More than ever I realize how each day is a gift to enjoy and store to memory. Mornings on the beach experiencing the sights and sounds of a new beginning and breath taking sunsets lighting up the sky have fed my soul lately. I just know I experienced the flutter of angel wings in some cloud patterns the other day. Speaking of wings, I've observed some interesting water birds and their antics....what could cause all of that squawking?

It's A Beautiful Morning is a memory of one of those experiences. The light was cool and dramatic on the water, but calm in spite of impending rain. The birds were active and always a treat to see. I gave myself the gift of expressing what I saw on canvas.

As the holidays arrive and gift giving is considered, I hope you will think about art for your family, friends or yourself. Living with an original painting of people, places or memories is a gift that renews itself each day and adds value to your living space and to your life quality. Find a painting you love and discover the joy.
