Skagit Stillness (11 x 14, pastel)

It is an evening like this and the unparalleled thrill of recording it for others to share that inspires me as an artist. There is so much beauty all around us it seems I could paint all day, every day. I smile at my futile attempt to capture it all in this lifetime. And what a life it is!
Skagit Stillness
just in time
to catch the sweet peach sun
kissing leaves on poplar trees
in the fertile Skagit Valley
This is stunning!!!
