Beautiful Day
Beautiful Day if you can't have it Create it.
This lovely view is inspired by a little town in Colorado nestled in the mountains with one of the prettiest views I have ever seen. We had driven miles and miles of winding mountain roads to stumble upon this spectacular small town. It had one main street with little shops a few cute little houses and farms all around.
I painted this many years later it was a rainy spell that had lasted longer than usual. The reflections in the water are symbolic of memories. I was still getting used to my new life as a widow remembering the good times like this trip. Rainy days tend to make me a little blue and with so many in a row during such a dark time I needed to do something to cheer myself up.
The mountains were made using very special gifts a painters knife and brushes I had just been given with the art supplies my step-father Jim had left me after he too passed from cancer a short time before I painted this. I have fond memories of discussing painting with him and seeing his new creations during my holiday visits.
Painting this Beautiful Day of one of my favorite places helped me get thru tough times. The Autumn colors are inspired by my wonderful daughter Autumn Bliss a reminder no matter the challenges life throws my way I have Blessings to be thankful for.
Life certainly has its ups and downs. If you find yourself feeling a little blue I hope this beautiful image will bring you happiness and remind you to reflect upon the good memories life has blessed us with.
