Renew your happiness with a walk beside the babbling brook

Lyrical. I promise I could hear the creek and the brook in these paintings as I worked. Can you?

Mysterious. Take a walk into each. As you more toward the back, will you be able to walk around the waterfalls or will you need to sit on a rock as the mist swirls?

Renewal is my toast to springtime. I added the flowers at the last minute, inspired by the new wildflowers greeting me on my morning walks. Renewal happens in every season, especially when you can hear a stream dancing over and around rocks and when you can take a few moments to reflect on. So, that's why I changed its name at the last minute from “Morning Meditation” to “Renewal.” 

 This is the photograph of the interior of the painting. 

 

Babbling Brook has a little more energy. I danced with my brushes, sweeping and shuffling in a lyrical way, expressing the music of the brook, dancing over and around the rocks. What fun it was to paint. Yet, in its aliveness, there is a sense of calm and an invitation to keep walking toward that misty mystery inside the painting. 

 Here is an interior shot of Babbling Brook.

So, dear readers, that is their story. Thank you for joining me on this journey. Renewal and Babbling Brook are now installed in the online gallery and available for purchase. Feel free to contact me to discuss delivery (within reasonable distance) or shipping. Or to commission me to create your own lyrical stream side brook. 

I believe the paintings complement each other as a pairing; however, they are available as separate pieces as well.
