Summer has arrived in the Northeast.\u00a0 As usual it\u2019s a mix of weather.\u00a0 Some days are rather cool and rainy.\u00a0 Other days are hot and sunny.\u00a0 And sometimes the sky darkens with storm clouds of rain, lightening and thunder.\u00a0 As the sun comes back out and the storm moves off, I sometimes enjoy gazing at the huge clouds.\u00a0 They reach up so high they appear as if they were mountains in the sky. <\/span><\/p>\n Sometimes it is like a painting by our creator. Wisps and strokes of paint on nature\u2019s canvas. <\/span><\/p>\n I can\u2019t help finding wisps and strokes when painting horses, too. \u00a0Their manes and tails flap and flow with the horse\u2019s movement.\u00a0 Their coats gleam in the sun shine.<\/span><\/p>\n The horse\u2019s beauty has been portrayed through the ages and continues to inspire us into the future. <\/span><\/p>\n Take the time to see the beauty around us in nature, and in the things we have in our lives. <\/span><\/p>\n Blessings,<\/p>\n LWG<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Feature Art\/product<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n “Blue Ribbon<\/a>“<\/span><\/p>\n “Blue Ribbon” is a pastel painting of a horse with\u00a0 a blue ribbon on his halter.

\nDarla Dixon organized a group of artists who will create no-charge compassionate portraits for the families who have lost a loved one in Operation Iraqi Freedom\/Operation Enduring Freedom. We are looking for artists to join our efforts, and also for non-artists who will help spread the word about this free service and token of our gratitude to families who have sacrificed so much.” <\/span><\/p>\n
