Summer Morning & Birch Forests Show at The Vanilla Bean

"Summer Morning"  20"w x 10"h

Getting back in the swing of things is tough after being on vacation especially considering the flurry of activity prior to vacation. New work was delivered to galleries, new shows were hung, and commissions completed. The studio is a mess, there are half a dozen canvases being prepped for new paintings and I'm sitting at the computer sifting through emails and images of paintings created during the last couple weeks of June and early July.

This painting featured today, titled Summer Morning, is 20"w x 10"h and is part of a show titled Birch Forests at The Vanilla Bean Restaurant in Two Harbors, MN. The show is titled appropriately, as there are 21 originals and framed prints available for purchase that feature the birch forests in all their seasonal splendor. Summer Morning is such a calm, peaceful painting, and considering the humid weather this piece really reflects the spirit of the season. Beautiful blue skies and green leaves greet you in the forest, along with the songbirds and the wish that this season could go on forever. Please stop back soon as I'll be posting new works daily ... and enjoying the summer mornings too.
