Creating the Sun

It’s summer again, and I’m so glad. For about a week there, it wasn’t summer around here. A lot of rain and grey skies; muddy trails and wet dog. I wanted to wear my summer clothes – not my rain jacket – but didn’t have much of a choice.

I did have a choice in what I created, though, so I created my own personal sunshine through my art. Summer-y flowers and leaves in bright colors filled the bill. I could change my mood with a choice of brilliant oranges and reds, like this one…

…or lemon yellow and lime green, like this image “Looking Up.” Ahhhh, hello sun.

My husband complained that some of the colors were too bright. They hurt his eyes.

That sounds just about perfect to me. If they are too bright for you, just put on your sunglasses. I’ve achieved my goal, and created some sun.

    Having lived in Oregon briefly many years ago, I can attest to the desperate longing one feels sometimes for just a glimpse of sun. Congratulations for discovering a way to create sunshine in your own life! That’s much better than feeling a nervous breakdown is imminent, which was my reaction at the time. “Looking Up” is a very happy image.

    Love it. It’s not too bright. It’s just what we need. And I hear that summer will return to the west coast soon.

    We have had a lot of rain here also — but at least the sun peeks out once in awhile. I just got new glasses and everything is looking brighter and clearer to me — I love it!

    What a great attitude! I live in Las Vegas, so sun is never a problem. I do long for cool cloudy rainy days especially today, it’s suppose to be 116 degrees! You’ve inspired me to create something cool and refreshing. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent.

    Capture life,
    Kathy
