1292. The Secrets of Silence

The Sunset Trail in Door County is one of the most peaceful places I've experienced.  I love to hear the crunch of the path's carpet and the serenade of the birds.  Occasionally, if you are lucky, you will see a beautiful deer or doe in the stillness.  In springtime, you may be lucky enough to catch the beauty of the tiny wild irises carpeting a blanket of blue.  You will come to the still water of a stream, and possibly an old cemetery if you veer off a bit.  One can best experience this while being silent.  Words are a distraction from the quiet moments in nature.

1291. Spur of the Moment

 Today I was planning to work on an abstract but I before I got started I came across an unfinished painting that was tucked away for another day.  It's good for me to be flexible.

 This arrangement by LaTerre Flower Market had more neutral flowers in the brown family of colors.  It was beautiful but I just can't get used to the idea of brown roses so I took artistic liberty to change the colors.  One of the great things about being an artist is that we can make subtle or drastic changes to any person, place or thing.  It's so powerful! ha ha

This is a painting of one of many beautiful floral arrangements from La Terre Flower Market in Mequon, Wisconsin.  My friend's daughter graciously granted me permission to use their photos as reference.  This arrangement has all the components of HAPPY with its bright and cheery flowers.  Our Autumn has been beautiful here in Chicago, so HAPPY is the feeling of the days.
