.....a love letter!

Last week I took a drive through the glorious hill country of Texas. This beautiful terrain is quite different from the mesquite plains where I live. As indicated by it's name, it is 'hilly' and dotted with large live oaks. This scenic route has become one of my favorites because of it's beauty which makes the time fly!

However, this trip was better than ever for the countryside was covered
in a blanket of blue....bluebonnets that is!



The state flower has never looked better!



Coming home last Thursday, I stopped so many times that I turned a 4 hour drive into a 6 hour drive! Seriously, every bend in the road or hill that I topped took my breath away. I haven't had
so many ooo's and ahhh's come out of my mouth since the fourth of July.



I spent a lot of time trying to analyze this shade of blue and what colors I would use to make it. This is a little game I play in my head, a challenge that keeps me mentally painting when I'm not at the easel. Just about the time I would settle on the perfect formula, the angle of the light would change and have me thinking again.

I hope this spring, you will take time to enjoy the beauty God has so lavishly placed around us....a gentle reminder of His love! His beauty stirs something in my soul, brings tears to my eyes and whispers to my heart.....like a love letter.
