Florida Sunset

Bid my farewell to Florida sandy beach by waiting out for the sunset with my easel ready on the almost  last day of the year 2013

Waves upon waves caressing the soft sandy beach of Florida

I can still hear the waves long after I returned to the snow-covered landscape of wintry  Brandon Manitoba

A glimpse of the long sandy beach of Florida

From the third floor balcony of the condo where we stayed, I painted this almost bird-eyed view on this sunny beautiful morning

A sunset moment from the gulf of Mexico on Florida coast

Painted this view from the first floor balcony of the condo where we stayed for the family reunion.

Christmas day from the sunny sandy beach of Florida on the gulf of Mexico

It is absolutely a delightful experience to paint on the long sandy beach of Florida on the gulf of Mexico on Christmas Day of 2013

In the path of winter light

Suddenly, I found myself looking out of the bedroom window again dipping deep my senses into the splash and dazzle of the winter light. A year has almost come to an end again! A sense of nostalgia, and a sense of dejarvou.

Winter night when street light was on

It was getting cold and dark outside and heavy snow fall was on the way.

There is something ethereally beautiful about the morning  sun  behind the pale veil of foggy morning light.

From Dinsdale Park on Assiniboine River on Culture Days today

Painting  in Dinsdale Park on  Assiniboine River on this beautiful fall morning is a memorizing experience.

A glimpse from our patio on the cold and cloudy afternoon

On the way to Deep Bay of Clear Lake

Such a delightful experience  to paint this view together with Sheila who is so kind as to invite me and my family over to her cottage on such a beautiful fall morning.
