Take 2 on #RiseUp
#JukeboxFridayNight

I thought of a favorite line from an iconic song:
"One of these mornings
you're gonna rise up singing,
then you'll spread your wings
and you'll take to the sky"

I'm an admirer of both these artists, and I enjoyed this version of the song. Scat fest.

Pink and violet July sunset, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. July 10, 2021, 8:21 PM.

Standing beside a thicket of tall green weeds along the shore of a large lake. A thicket of tall shrubs is just to our right. The far shore of the lake is heavily wooded. The sun has recently set across the lake, still leaving a bright orange disk along the horizon. The pale blue gray sky is mostly cloudy, the cloud bottoms tinted bright pink or dark violet by the post sunset. This is mirrored on the lake surface, which is being rippled by a good fresh breeze.

Summer evening forest along Woodtick Trail, Wolcott, Connecticut. June 25, 2020, 7:15 PM.

An intensely green forest of tall trees surround a small clearing lushly carpeted with ferns. The late afternoon sun is low above the far horizon, shining through the leafy branches of the trees and casting long shadows across the ferns. Through the canopy there are glimpses of a soft blue sky.

into the garden - deep summertime
This is the first in a series of paintings that illuminate the transformative beauty of the natural world. To visually express how total immersion into the deep greenness of gardens and wild spaces can create a profound sense of peace; restore wonder; and generate calm in an increasingly chaotic world.

Against a background of swirling greens and golds, silhouettes of abundant flowering plant life blooms. The top of an abstract face in the lower right portion of the painting. NOTE: This description created especially for my lovely blind friend, Georgiana. :-)

Sunset cloud explosion. New Britain Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. July 20, 2020, 8:05 PM.

We are standing next to a large gray boulder on the shore of a lake. A bright green leafy shrub is growing to the right of the rock. The surrounding ground is blanketed with a leafy green ground cover that from a distance resembles grass and small green shoots. The far shore has a wide band of that same green ground cover alongside the lake and then a forest of tall trees. The sky is mostly a soft gray blue, with gold and orange hazy clouds along the horizon on the left, where the sun has just set behind the forest. A large, interesting cluster of clouds is drifting above the woods. The bottoms of the clouds are dark gray, but their tops are painted gold by that setting sun.

Quiet beaver pond in Todd Hollow, Plymouth, Connecticut. July 19, 2024, 1:54 PM.

A deep blue, unusually haze-free summer sky with fleecy white clouds. Standing in the shade beside the trunk of a maple tree on the shore of a large pond. A patch of mostly open water nearby with clumps of tall water grasses mirrors the sky on its lightly rippled surface. Most of the pond beyond hash a dense covering of lily pads. The pond merges with the tall grasses of a marsh to our left. A wooded ridge rises above the far shore.

Sunset sunbeams at Lost Ponds, Mattatuck State Forest, Plymouth, Connecticut. July 19, 2017, 7:32 PM.

Beneath a soft blue evening sky with thin hazy clouds along the horizon and a few wispy clouds above, we are standing beside a pond that is encircled by a forest. Two low ridges gradually slope down towards a point along the far shore. The sun has just set behind the righthand ridge, silhouetting the forest and both ridges. An arc of sunbeams is streaking upward from the point where the sun has set. The sky is mirrored on the still surface of the pond.

So many colors June sunset. Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. June 27, 2021, 8:42 PM.

We are standing beside a large lake. The sun has recently set above the wooded far shore. The sky is a deep twilight blue streaked with clouds: orange and gold tinted along the horizon and bright pink above, mirrored on the lake below. We are standing beside a patch of tall lush green grass along the near shore. It is speckled with red violet wildflowers. There is a darker green bush beyond, right on the shoreline.

Spring's balm quickly fades
Summer blisters the garden
Sunflowers show some skin
Thick and radiant through Fall

Exploding clouds sunset, Hidden Lake, Fall Mountain, Plymouth, Connecticut. August 28, 2020, 7:12 PM.

We are standing on a low ridge looking down over the treetops at a small pond surrounded by forest below. A small tree rises to our right. The sun is setting behind a massive swirl of fair weather clouds disintegrating into haze and smaller clouds. It looks almost like a stop action of a cloud explosion. Between the clouds, the sky is pale orange and gold around the setting sun and a pale blue gray elsewhere.
