Blue Heron, 6×6, oil on gessoboard $75 SOLD
Day 12. Â Started this one a couple days ago. Â Most of my pelicans are flying, but I usually see egrets and herons still and watchful, which is probably appropriate because April can be the cruelest month. Â I’m about to take my paintings outdoors– Mandeville is stunning this time of year– green, vibrant, flowers blooming everywhere. Â But. Â This springtime is backdrop to a host of more somber realities. Â My divorce should be finalized within the next few weeks and with it comes decisions, fear, uncertainty, relief, possibility, hope. Â There is much that is yet to be resolved, figured, calculated, lived. Â I have never been more sure of the goodness that can flow from pain and heartache. Â But. Â I am still and watchful. Â Taking it in. Â Hoping for springtime in more than just my backyard.
