“In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.”
― Robert Frost

THE PAINTING

The one positive about the end of Sept is I get to see the sunrise.  When I take the dogs out at 5:45 I can stand and stare up at the stars.  I can walk on the treadmill and watch the sunrise. This painting is about the end of those LONG HOT summer days that lasted through the middle of September for us in north Texas. It was not just HOT it was DANG HOT.  

The painting holds the fresh bliss of that new sunrise in September. It has a softness to it. It is beautiful.  This is from Sunday Morning around 7:30.  Does not get much prettier waking up to the soft autumn sky.  Can you see the colors from the painting?  



The horse photo I used was by Helmut Hussman from Nevada.  He goes out and shots the wild horses near his home. He is kind and allows me to use his photos for resource.  In the background of the painting was this early sunlight with fields of light gold and yellow and a touch of green.  That drove the color palette and I did not veer from it. I wanted to retain the beauty of this time of the year. 

LIFE GOES ON

I love this quote by Robert Frost. Sometimes these poets from long ago sound like they are from today. What I have learned about life is to abide in the Lord.  Life will go on and I cannot stop what is happening throughout the country and our world. It matters not that I have never EVER seen the divide in this country this bad.

It surprises me that people are as rude as they are and the younger generations, many are missing basic kindness principles.  Do you remember your mom or dad saying... or even your teacher saying ... "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." That is how we were brought up, thinking of others and not of ourselves.

When you step back and disengage with thinking and just observe what is going on, it truly affects you... sad or happy depending on your side of the story.  I have learned after the days of covid shut down, I have no control over this mess in America.  I can keep my heart and mind and actions with the Lord and abide and trust in Him. I can be positive and pray for others and truly keep my focus on Him. 

He is apart of the painting above. I stopped painting this year and this is one God inspired me to paint.
