September 1 - definitely a day of fresh starts, new beginnings, a change of seasons. I had a great summer with my family, and I hope you did, too. I'm kicking off September by participating in artist Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. My personal theme is "Creative Joy." I'll be sharing paintings and journal pages - activities in my daily life that bring me creative joy. 

Painting peonies is definitely one of those things that brings me joy. I have always loved peonies, and then there is the fun part of moving paint around in colorful shapes! 

Thank you for being a part of this joy-filled journey,

Nancy

Blooming

From my Petite Peinture (French for little painting) series, an amaryllis bloom. I love these plants--they are easy to grow and their flowers are beautiful. I have had some success getting these to bloom year after year, but just recently planted a pink and white variety and am (im)patiently waiting for it to bloom. 

Every painting in my Petite Peinture series is painted on all four sides and looks great sitting on a shelf (as shown) or hanging on a wall. It also makes for a wonderful and unique gift.

A dear friend and fellow artist lost her husband a couple of days ago to cancer. This is dedicated to them. And while this Bible verse is most often heard at weddings, it makes me think of them and the love they've shared over the years. 

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous;

love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly;

it does not seek its own, is not provoked, 

does not take into account a wrong suffered,

does not rejoice in unrighteousness, 
but rejoices with the truth;

bears all things, believes all things, 
hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails...But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7,13

Rest in peace, Rick;

God bless you, Chris
