The light is fading but the reflections are still bright on the water

I have enjoyed her live performances many times

she carries both serenity and resilience

When my Golden Retriever doesn’t have her “blankie” in her mouth

The Bendy Tree Red water lily reddish-brown terrain dominates the foregroundInspiration I have a white gumtree in my backyard up against a fence, that deserved to be in a landscape . It is so beautiful. When I stand underneath it, it towers over me so much it does seem bent. It all went from there to a huge canvas that is almost as tall as me!! I adore landscapes but like to "bend" the truth a bit and make them slightly quirky.
