3 new watercolors

As we start this Holy Week with reflections on the Eucharist, the Passion of Christ and His eventual Resurrection, let me share with you three new watercolors I’ve done recently. The first one is a peaceful scene on a lake with a large cherry blossom tree on the right and 2 geese resting on a little peninsula on the left, with rows of hills and mountains in the background.

The second one shows a mountain with a row of trees reflecting on a lake beneath. The whole mountain is also reflected on the lake which creates like a mirror-image, producing another peaceful atmosphere. This is a nostalgic scene I saw so often in central Oregon, something which I miss terribly in Malta as we have no mountains, no lakes and no rivers, and of course no wildlife other than some lizards basking in the sun and all kinds of critters and bugs which can be annoying in the hot summer months. 

The third painting is another country scene with groups of houses, barns, small huts, a church and a windmill creating a pastoral setting with plenty of space in between. This is typical of what I remember from my dear Oregon’s countryside, with plenty of wildlife sprinting in front of my car as I reach my mission churches in Halfway, Long Creek, Monument, North Powder and Unity.
