I’m getting hit with all kinds of spam again, hope to get it cleared up – seems to be coming from Facebook (of which I’m not even a member). Oh well, the joy (or pain) of the internet. So I’m very behind in reading the blogs I follow, very sorry!
Here is my latest oil pastel (11×14) – it gave me a sense of peace as I realized my blog was hit once again by spammers! Hope you enjoy the “morning walk.”

Hope all is resolved Mary !
That IS a very calming walk I must say even @ close of day here for me Zzzzzzz
Lovely feel to it .
So glad you enjoyed the scene Poppy! I imagine it would be one of those quiet and calming scenes – good for the soul!
I wish I was walking by this on my morning walks…. 🙂
Thank you so much Kara, I’d join you – the view is worth every step!

Thank you so much Valentina for your wonderful surprise – I really appreciate the thought. It may take a while before I get to doing the requirements, but I’ll get there. Once again – thank you!! Mary
My pleasure, dear! 😀
Beautiful painting !
The grass, the water in front and back, they are so real !
Wonderfull !
Thanks Petronette – I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
I do so love your work, thank you for posting and sharing it.
Thank you so much for your comments, very appreciated!
What? You didn’t like becoming world famous over night? Actually I got hit also the past 24 hours from facebook spam. But all of a sudden it stopped. Go figure.
Love this painting. So bright and full of promise and hope.
Oh you know how to make my day! Thanks so much for your wonderful comments on Morning Walk – when the tide goes out all goes quiet, much like this scene. I’m planning to repaint with waves coming into shore ~
That will be beautiful.
VEry beautiful. The circular composition and the color has a lovely protective quality. I hope it can cast some sort of spell and resolve the spamming problem:)
Thank you so much for your beautiful comments Elena, great way to describe the quiet solitude of the scene! I may paint this scene again, only this time with some waves coming into shore.
Yes, Akismet should be catching over 99% of spam!! Wouldn’t you think spammers would have better things to do with their life…good grief. Love the texture of the rocks that you have given to it.
You are so right – this takes up way too much time, and is getting frustrating. I’ve gone through 59 today ~ But, wanted to thank you for your wonderful comment on Morning Walk, much appreciated. The scene keeps me calm ~
And I love the painting!
Thank you for your wonderful comment on Morning Walk – it’s one of those quiet, peaceful scenes that are special finds.
I am also getting a tremendous amount of spam.
Thanks, I’ll be sending off a note to Akismet who manages wordpress spam – this is happening too often.
