Latest Inspiration – recently I had a client visit, who took a photograph of Grayson Highlands, Virginia, from its nearby neighbour Western Ashe County, North Carolina.

Because I can’t get about any more, following my stroke five years ago, it was a pleasant relief to see such beauty of fall colours from a vantage point I wasn’t familiar with. Grayson Highlands was my playground in former years and I could not waste time interpreting from the photograph and a shaky hand to execute a little watercolour, measured 16” x 20”.

It is fitting to comment at a time when many people celebrate Thanksgiving. Every day is an occasion for giving thanks and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to see beauty and draw from the memories of earlier years.

“Give thanks to the Lord for he is good. His love endures for ever.” Psalm 136
