~ Enjoy the little things in life, for you'll one day look back and realize they were the big things~

anonymous

Daisys are one of my favorite flowers. Some say they represent new beginnings and motherhood.

I found this quote appropriate as I have been immersed in digitizing old family videos and photos to share with my children. What a joy it is to watch them! Little moments captured. At the time, I was so busy it was hard to be in the present moment while I was making all the moments happen! Although I would get teased for always having a camera in my hand, I am glad I didn't put it down.

Fireworks, 6x6 original oil on archival panel

~ America was built on courage, on imagination and unbeatable determination~

Harry S. Truman

Fireworks were flying last night for the Super Bowl! Although I was rooting for the Eagles of my home state, it was a match of courage, imagination and determination of both teams! The patriotic tears of Eagles coach Nick Sirianni during the National Anthem touched so many hearts. My reference photo was taken on the Fourth of July here at the lake. We are blessed to have the owners of The Hardwoods put on a magnificent firework display each year as we gather around the campfire to watch from the shoreline. So many venture out on the lake with their boats there is a sea of tiny colorful lights. It's a wonderful sight and we are so grateful for the Butler family's generosity each year.

~ The quieter you become, the more you can hear ~

This is an anonymous quote I found when struggling from a schedule that was too full.

No matter how busy the day ahead is, if I take time to be still and listen the day seems to go better.

Thank you for following my original artwork.

Canvas Prints for Sale

For the past two years my canvas prints have been displayed on consignment at Smokey's Tavern and Restaurant on the east shore of Hubbard Lake for $250.00 (20% commission would be given to the staff member who connected me with the collector). I am so thankful to Brian Sanders (owner) and Cindy Laur (general manager) for their support in this effort to connect visual arts with local businesses. Starting in 2023 Smokey's is under new management and they are creating a new interior vision for the Tavern by displaying cool vintage signs from Smokey's in years past. As a result, I have taken down the canvas prints and will slowly embelish them using an original oil technique that will use the image as reference but create an original oil painting. These original oil paintings will be offered in the coming months at the Thunder Bay Art Gallery in Alpena, MI for $500.00 each. In the meantime if you would like to purchase one of the canvas prints in this post before I embelish it, I am offering each 30"x30" canvas print for $200.00. Please contact me by text or email by calling 267-980-2777 or email at sbmorrell@icloud.com. I also work on commission if you have a special image of the lake you would like me to create in an original oil painting of any size. For example, here is a commission that measures 30' x 40" I created for residents of a sentimental cabin located on their property;
