Time of transitions

6 x 8 oil on Board

 I had the gut wrenching expierence of sending my sweet, creative, intelligent playmate and daughter off to kindergarten.   Thankfully it has been harder on me then on her.  I am proud and happy to see her growing into her own person.   In between the sobbing I managed to do some painting.  The Bee Balm went crazy this year in my garden.  I am not sure I did it justice but I tried to capture the way it glistened in the morning.

  I painted this meadow a couple of times while on vacation in August.   I hope to make a larger piece utilizing the plein air paintings as reference.
