Last week, I had a fantastic time on Monhegan Island painting with my friend, Kathy Morrissey. The flowers were in bloom all over the island. On this visit, I found myself drawn to them even more than the ocean.   Here is a watercolor inspired by the afternoon light. I love the golden sunlight against the bright purple lupines.

I have fallen in love with the beautiful lupines that grow on Monhegan. This is the third painting I have done of them and it certainly won't be my last! I love deep purples and magentas and this is the perfect setting for me to get to play with those colors.
