A nostalgic walk in my old neighborhood in southern California where my kids
went to elementary school… passing the Bougainvilla flowers …
One Word Sunday: Red, Tue Travel, ABC Wed: Fiery Red
The buck standing in the front yard that prompted me to paint
the oil below. It doesn’t come out much here,
but the Manzanita tree right-front is reddish.

Oil, 18 x 36 inch, Three Deer, © St Germain
This painting was painted at a conference.
Chose the theme “as the deer pants for the water, so my soul longs for You.”
Giving myself a challenge of painting a deer with oil paint.

The Reflection is the only image not in red. Took several of these, in the beginning of living on the country side (hope this one was not posted before).
Peace in snow triad
We had two dumps of 7 inches of snow last week!
It looked winter wonderland (and still it does)

Beautiful red flowers for February. Sorry you had trouble posting your link to Pictorial Tuesday this past week. Not sure why. Seems I now have trouble too at different sites when I try to leave comments.

I love your painting. I often see scenes I would love to paint or draw but I just don’t have the skills to do it. I’ve managed to add you onto this week’s Sunday Snap linkup.

My parents have a Bougainvilla plant in Arizona and I love it. Great painting of the deer and the sunset is quite something.

What a cool reflection, and wonderful red sunset. I’ve always liked bougainvillea flowers, and manzanita bark has such a nice red color. I like the painting!

The door is lovely and the last two look like something that I would be happy to photograph too. Happy spring coming up!

Thank you! The only thing I can’t do here are the endless landscapes and a big sky with a horizon across the image because the trees are in the way (lol, am not complaining!)

Thank you Joanne -it makes up for the one and a half hrs. we travel to the grocery and department stores. and coffee places! The danger that I’m fully entertained all the time is that I’m getting spoiled. Have the same problem as my neighbors: everyone in the city drives up here for the weekend, but when you live in that place 24/7 where do you go, that is not in another state or country?

Ahhh – interesting dilemma. One I hadn’t considered. Where indeed do you go – except to the city?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Yeah – the dilemma is prolonged, because the first 4 years living in the country, we spent all of our funds on the building of the studio and the huge canvases and buckets of paint, and big brushes. So, now we have that all taken care of, maybe we’ll go on some type of vacation this summer – maybe!
