Lord Byron said, “There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is music in the shore, a society which none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not man the less, but nature, more.” The dark reflecting pool is from a castle in France, Chateau Chenonceau which I had the good fortune of visiting this summer. Unlike Byron, I do not wish to be without friends or family for very long, but I do enjoy the solitude of a walk in nature and the poetry of its peace. Where is your favorite place to enjoy the enchantment of nature?

normandy morning

Perfect peace…no filter here. At a manor where life, love, death, joy, and war have played out for hundreds of years. The memories are deep in the land, the backdrop for our human dramas. This was taken at 5:30 in the morning when I work up and saw this out the window and had to capture it. There is always something so magical about the very beginning of a new day! In Normandy, France…so inspiring. This might have to become a painting!

The definition of romance: to make special. The romantic life, then, is making each moment, person, and experience special, everything you do with love and intention, to create a life filled with romance. From France at the dreamiest Chateau ever, I felt like I was in a Bronte novel! The French certainly know a thing or two about living romantically. Where is your favorite place you have stayed? This was certainly it for me!

Here is a painting I finished today, “Pathways at Versailles.” Its an oil on panel 8″ by 10″ painting and is inspired by a trip that I took to France and had the chance to visit the gardens at Versailles, the most beautiful gardens I have ever seen. The formal gardens were just one aspect to the magnificent grounds.
