Karin H. Leonard    Luminous Landscapes
Monthly Sanctuary of Art

Dear Art Lovers and      Collectors,

I hope this letter finds you happy, and ready for the dreamy, long days of summer.  Here in Northern California it has been unusually cool, so warming visions of vacation and beautiful beaches are most welcome!

The painting in this month's sanctuary is inspired by my recent holiday in Jamaica.  Whenever I travel, paints are sure to make it into my suitcase, and many a blissful hour was spent deeply drinking in the sizzling beauty of the Carribean through my paintbrush (ok, I admit it, I drank in some of those tropical Jamaican Rum yummies, too...). 
 
Vacation time in Reaggae land was heavenly, yet nothing connects me to the spirit of the land like the contemplation of painting.
 
Still feeling the tropical warmth, and listening to the heartbeat rhythms of soulful reaggae, I completed "Jamaican Sanctuary" in my studio...warming up cool California afternoons.
 
This month you can see some of my paintings displayed at Karlene Dahlmeier's gallery, along with other artists.  Come visit on June 15th for a reception. You can also see some of my work at
York Gallery.
 
I'm excited to announce that high quality Giclee Prints of selected paintings can now be ordered through my website - take a look.
 
Watch for announcements of upcoming shows.  August I will be exhibiting at gallery Tonantzin in San Juan Bautista, as well as at the Mountain Art Guild.
 
Looking forward to hear your news and vacation dreams... please stay in touch.
 
Warmly,
Karin

Carribean waters warm and inviting,

Shimmering in vibrant light.

Gentle winds caressing,

Glimmer of eternity.

Negril, Jamaica, has a seemingly endless, seven mile sand beach.  My husband and I walked the entire glorious stretch.  Happily finding shade under the above trees,  I felt myself disappear into the endless aqua sea, far away from everyday life.  Vowing to paint this blissful expanse, I absorbed the timeless spirit of that moment into every cell of my body. 
 
May you discover many a timeless, blissful moment this month...
 
Warmly,
Karin
