"Seattle Sunset Sail" by Karla Nolan

Another take on Seattle, this time at dusk with the sailboats out on the water.  I guess I could easily drive up the road to Horsetooth Reservoir this summer and see a similar sight, however it certainly wouldn't be near the ocean, would it?  We are basically landlocked here.  That's okay, it gives me a good excuse to travel to the ocean once in a while, and I really do appreciate those opportunities.  Doesn't it look like fun out there?

Colorful water and sky

It's Fall and all the colors of Autumn

deliciously swirled into

the sky and reflective ocean.

Well another big move day has come.

Packing up my beach house and moving again!

From California to Virginia once again, here we come.

I will miss the ocean a bit but looking forward to the culture 

and wonderful art community of the DC area! 

Red Right Returning by Roxanne Steed

15"x30" oil on deep gallery wrapped linen

Everybody's talking at me.
I don't hear a word they're saying,
Only the echoes of my mind.
People stopping staring,
I can't see their faces,
Only the shadows of their eyes.

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Thru' the pouring rain,
Going where the weather suits my clothes,
Backing off of the North East wind,
Sailing on summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone.
- Harry Nilsson

As I was posting this painting, I just kept thinking about "sailin' on a summer breeze"...and honestly - if you're my age, you just can't say that phrase without singing it to Harry Nilsson's tune. With all the chilly rain we've had lately, this is one fine daydream, to recall the sunny days out on the water last summer! Watching the boats go by!

Morning Light, Left to Right by Roxanne Steed

12"x16" oil on linen mounted on archival board

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson


So, it seems I've been stretching out all these stories from my recent travels. Two weeks ago Wednesday I drove down to Virginia to be ready for the "Out & About Norfolk" Plein Air Show, as well as the second event, Ballet Virginia International - Artists Supporting the Arts Gala - both juried shows. I had four paintings juried into the BVI show, and I had been fortunate to jury in to the Out & About Show as well. For the O&A, 40 artists were out on the town painting their favorite locations on Thursday and Friday of that week. These works are exhibited in the 'Wet Painting Sale' at the big event Saturday evening.

My first painting of Thursday was at the Norfolk Yacht Club, and I wanted to push by abilities a bit by painting larger than I usually do outside. I was really attracted to the light on the 'big mass of boats' before me...as well as the light glancing across three kayaks on a pier directly in front of me! This painting brought me an Award of Merit from Jerry's Artarama at the Saturday evening show.
