Waterfalls -Paint Party Friday

One never knows what one might see near a waterfall. In the woods where I played as a child, places where the water fell through the forest were wondrous. Down through Leprechaun Valley there were playful little waterfalls tumbling over rock and mossy rill. There were small clear pools where the sunlight would glisten down through the vine maples, to reflect dapples of light up into our faces.

I have not lost my love for waterfalls. My family and I visited Niagara Falls in 2001 and 2002. Someday I shall draw the dancing mist maidens I saw there.

Happy Paint Party Friday, all you wonderful artists and beautiful people. God bless you, dear ones.  Have a lovely weekend and thank you for dropping by.

Blue Green Forest -Guest Heart Thursday

This winter has been especially hard.  With the long, rainy, gray days of winter in the Pacific Northwest this season, I find myself longing for green woodlands and spring flowers.  I have seen some amazing pictures of bluebells carpeting the forest floor and was inspired.  Hence the bluebells beneath spring green leaves.

Yes, this Blue Green Forest has hidden hearts, but something else is there.  Can you see it?

Have a lovely day, everyone!

Sleepy Hills - Guest Heart Thursday

I love the Columbia Gorge.  Watching the mountains along the banks of the Great Columbia River, my imagination runs wild.  Here you see these sleeping hills warning all to silence before a well deserved nap.

I have hidden a few hearts in this drawing--can you find them?

Mountain Song - Sunday Scans

"For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake,

But my loving kindness will not be removed from you,

And my covenant of peace will not be shaken,"

Says the Lord God who has compassion upon you.

~Isaiah 54:10

This Mountain Song was inspired by our recent trip through the Great Columbia Gorge and the photo of a dear young man.  Have a lovely day, everyone!
