Sunset over the lanai

 We get treated to these beautiful sunsets every night.  

Kale, testing the waters of Lake Tahoe

 This photo by kipp was so cool largely caused of all the smoke in the air from by the California wildfires

Red Truck

It's a Ford...

 

Pueo...the Hawaiian Owl

 Two types of owls here in Hawaii.  The smaller brown Pueo and the larger whiteish barn owl (which isn't native) but was introduced in 1958 to cut down on the rodent population. We definitely see more of the barn owls here.

Lots of hydrangeas

 Been working on a commission for a while.  This one is big for me 16x40.  Think I'm close.

Cowabunga

 Posted this late September on Instagram...not sure how I missed posting it here.

Three peaches

 Saved these 3 to paint, the rest went into a peach cobbler!

Hydrangea in black

 Back to these fun flowers...but thought I'd try the black background.  I like the contrast.

A little practice today...lots of colors in black and white

 The black background was actually alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue and burnt sienna. The cup has ultramarine blue, raw sienna, rose madder as well as Titanium white and black.  Who knew?

Nanea...looking from #7 to #9...under very cool clouds

 Nanea is always beautiful...sky is ever-changing , my favorite place to be
