Original landscape oil painting by Tisha Mark, "Homeland No. 2601" oil on Ampersand Gessobord, 6"x6" (2026). A peaceful atmospheric landscape painting of a lush green gentle slope with a loosely painted tree at the right, underneath a soothing light blue sky with textured breezy white cloud formations.

Something new this evening... this time of year, in the middle of winter, I start longing for greenery!

Wide coastal scene at dusk with streaked clouds sweeping diagonally across the sky. A narrow band of orange and gold light sits low on the horizon above dark waves. Wet sand in the foreground reflects the sky’s colors in soft horizontal bands. A small headland appears in silhouette at the far right edge.

green hills overlook a river with the sun in the sky.

green hills overlook a river with the sun in the sky.

Along the Hudson River looking west in "upstate" New York. New York State has a lot of "upstate" which is basically everything above NYC, which juts out south at the bottom of the state. Meaning Upstate New York is 99.5% of the state.

SOS: Someone please send tickets for my daughter and I, and collect us at Grantley Adams airport! I'm homesick, I miss my family, and I want out of this cold, snowy mess! 
This is Bathsheba, my favourite place on earth, as well as my late mother's favourite place on earth.
Under a blue sky with white puffy clouds, a sunlit beach can be seen. This is on the Atlantic side of the island so waters are a little rougher, which makes for great surfing not far from here. Barbados is a coral Island, not volcanic like all of the others in the Caribbean. There are large boulders of coral along the beach. Also in this photo is the grassy hill surrounding the beach complete with palm trees.

For #BlueSkyArtShow #Sunlight

They call #Barbados "the island in the sun" for good reason. Almost every day is as glorious as this one, which I spent at #Bathsheba, my favourite place on the planet.

A horizontal photo of sunrise along Lake Superior in winter. The sun is just above the horizon on the right side of the image. A small rocky island is to the left of the sun, near the top third of the photo. The island is covered in ice with several spindly pine trees growing out of the island.

In the foreground, black basalt rock extends along the left side of the image. Several larger rocks are covered by a large piece of ice. The underside of the right edge of the ice catches the sunlight, causing it to glow. 

Due to a long exposure time, the water appears milky. Droplets of water from crashing waves appear as a haze hanging above the water. This haze glows with a peachy orange color from the sun.

The sky above is mostly clear, transitioning from pale blue above to a peachy orange on the horizon, where a few small clouds can be seen.
