Sharing some of Winslow Homer’s beautiful watercolors for you to enjoy💕 #art #winslowhomer #watercolor #artist

I borrowed Winslow Homer’s blue canoe and paddled through the gorgeous exhibit of his watercolors at @mfaboston.bsky.social yesterday💕 His work is stunning- I’ll be sharing more as the week progresses. #art #winslowhomer #watercolor

Sharing a study I did yesterday of a landscape painting. It’s 8 x 10 inches and I was experimenting with color . Wondering what your thoughts are reguarding this study piece🤔 #art #landscape #colorstudy #paintingdemo #softpastel

Color in the Nation’s Capital-

There’s something magical about the quiet strength of mountains, isn’t there? Whenever I paint a mountain scene, I’m transported right back to those early mornings in the national parks—when the mist is still clinging to the peaks and the world feels hushed, as if nature itself is holding its breath

Caught the golden hour in a cemetery with tombstones from 1803…I wonder what words of wisdom they would have after living through the early years of our country 🤔

There’s one painting that holds a special place in my heart—my wintery Central Park scene. The original will always stay with me, but I’m thrilled to offer fine art prints so you can bring this peaceful moment into your own space. On sale today at TrailsEdgeFineArt.com #art #landscapes #softpastel

If only the trees in our old New England cemeteries could talk. Imagine the stories they’d share-of settlers forging new lives, poets + writers shaping our nation’s voice, and families gathering beneath their branches for generations. Stories of our past-did we learn from them? #art #softpastel .

Sharing some scenes from our off roading trip near Moab-thinking I should paint some more beautiful red rocks- 🤔

Loving this morning light in my front yard…I see a painting💕

Started a new painting today..plenty more work to do on it but I thought I’d share my process. First a sketch of the large shapes, then I use a brush and rubbing alcohol to finish the underpainting. Once it dries i use my soft pastel sticks- more to finish #art #artist #landscape #softpastel

There’s something magical about the way Sedona’s red rocks meet the cool, rushing water. The contrast of bold, earthy stone and the gentle movement of the creek made it the ideal place to rest, refuel, and soak in the beauty all around us. ‘Hiking Oak Creek’ Softpastel #art #sedona #redrocks

Everywhere I go, I’m searching for the dance of light and shadow. Whether I’m hiking a mountain trail or just walking through my neighborhood, I find myself pausing to watch how sunlight filters through the trees, casting bold shapes and gentle glows. It’s light contrasts that make the best #art

Sometimes, a painting isn’t just a painting—it’s a spark. “Firestarter” is my ode to the wild, untamed energy that lives in every sunrise, every autumn leaf, every ember glowing in the heart of a campfire. I wanted to capture that moment when color and light collide, when the world feels alive. #art

Open your eyes.. Really look at the beauty around you… Mother Nature does it best! PS- it was cold this morning hence I’m sharing a snowy evergreen🥶

Ever wondered how a limited palette can push your creativity? For this autumn marsh scene, I started with a black hard pastel to sketch my underpainting. Using a hard pastel allows me to map out the composition quickly and establish strong value contrasts. #art #ArtProcess

Did you know a marsh in autumn is like a bustling city for wildlife? From darting dragonflies to secretive muskrats, every blade of grass is alive with activity. The golden hues and gentle ripples in this painting remind me of the quiet magic that happens when you pause and listen. #art #landscape

Imagine this: the music begins—“Living is an art, you’ve got your canvas and I’ve got mine” As the melody flows, glimpses of Sargent’s luminous brushwork, Degas’s dancers, Monet’s dreamy gardens, and Van Gogh’s swirling skies appear-each one on a tote bag, purse or silk scarf. #LivingIsAnArt #art

Wishing I was out west hiking the beautiful Grand Wash Trail in Capitol Reef National Park. The gorgeous color surrounding me. The quiet of being in a desert ecosystem. The feeling of being insignificant in size as I hiked between the towering walls. Protect our parks! #art

I’m working my way back into a daily painting practice after being sick for 5 months. Yesterday, I painted along to music with no idea where this piece was headed other than it would be abstract. So,did I create something fun or should I toss it out? #Art is healing

Watch as I paint a scene from Monument Valley in soft pastel. Did I catch the essence of the Navajo land? #art

Imagine a cool mountain breeze as you wander along Glacier’s Going to the Sun Road. Wildflowers—lupine, paintbrush, and glacier lilies—dot the roadside, their colors vivid against the misty peaks. The air is crisp, carrying hints of pine and earth, while sunlight dances across the petals. #art

There’s a special kind of hush that settles over the world after a fresh snowfall… The fields stretch out in gentle white waves, every sound softened, every color muted. Even the trees seem to pause, their branches cradling the quiet.

Can you feel it? That gentle shift in the air, the golden light stretching a little longer each day… The new season is ready to paint the world with fresh colors and new adventures! Whether you’re dreaming of crisp hikes, cozy cabin mornings, or just color there’s magic waiting just outside🍁🍂 #art

Those lily pads are hopping as resting spots for frogs and dragonflies as the trees provide shade. When painting this, I could almost hear the gentle rustling of leaves and the soft splash of fish jumping. It's the kind of place that makes you want to dip your toes in the water, and breathe. #art

Did someone say “star power”? ⭐️ Looks like this little starfish beat me to the red carpet! Spotted strutting its stuff along the shoreline, soaking up the limelight (and maybe a little saltwater spa treatment). Mother Nature sure knows how to roll out the sandy runway, don’t you think? #beachlife

More than 90 national parks are experiencing major issues as a result of Trump's funding cuts and firing of federal workers. Make no mistake: They're going to use the decay they've created as a pretext for privatizing public lands. We cannot sit by and watch them destroy our natural spaces.
