A local lake has meadows above the trail that surrounds it that get filled with the blue blossoms of Lily flowers each April.

Kayla is my model in a merge of my three favorite painting subjects.  So the composition is Girl plus Land Rover plus local landscape.

I had been vexed over the fact that with no job, I needed to start making this art pay it’s way and all the inspiration dried up.

While pondering what had happened, I recognized this familiar response to every time I try to determine what I ought to paint based on what will sell.

The thought came, “Paint what you love. The rest will follow.”

I decided to trust that counsel and this was the first painting to follow.
