Gaze across the gently rippled water and off into the distance where the sun is sinking and gradually dimming the intensity of its brightness by hiding behind the far slope. Take a deep breath. Let go off the bustle of the day and move quietly into the evening, getting ready for a restful night. Be thankful for the day's blessings and sleep well. 🌙
So much soothing to our eyes and minds: a hushed lake, verdant trees curving upward on each side, the infinite sky mirrored in the rippled lake and the symmetry of all radiating out from the center at the horizon. Keep this peaceful scene in your mind's eye as you prepare for a restful night. Sleep well. 🌙
What the world needs now and always. Wrap yourself in the love around you and sleep the night away, comforted in its warmth. Good night. 🌙
Out on the porch watching and listening to the soothing drip and patter of the rain, feeling the cooling breeze and letting go of all thought and concerns. Wrap yourself in your favorite blanket, maybe bring a pillow and drift off into the most comforting sheltered sleep you can imagine. Good night.🌙
Plein air artist Aline Ordman invites us to stay indoors and snuggle down into crispy cool sheets and dream the night away until a fresh morning beautifully greets us. Give in to her invitation and find your comfort and your most restful sleep. Good night. 🌙
Awww. A late-night dose of wonderful sweetness to bring a smile to your face and light up your heart. Ease your way into a delightful night's sleep. Good night. 🌙
Thanks to artist/photographer Lindsey DeFilippis who always discovers the special around her wherever she is and captures it with her camera so that we, too, can enjoy it.
The hush of the night, the moon high in the dark sky, the lazy murmur of earth's creatures settling in for the night all remind us that we, too, need to put aside the day's tasks. It's time to turn down the volume of the busy day, turn off the lights and give our bodies the rest needed to renew and re-energize. Wishing you an undisturbed night. Sleep well. 🌙
Artist Renato Muccillo beautifully pictures the slumbering music of the night in his "November Nocturne."
A moment to reminisce, rest our world-weary psyches and enjoy a vision of two innocent beings, joyfully dancing in the rain. Think back to a time when you had a similar experience and smile. You are now ready to settle down for the night with a light heart and sleep beautifully. Good night. 🌙
U.K. artist Pete Rumney introduces us to two friends "Dancing in the Raindrops."

Whatever your plans are to travel in the future, sit back wherever you are now and let your imagination and plein air artist Roelof Rossouw take you on a vacation perhaps to the seaside marina and carnival he so vividly and joyfully captured for us. Enjoy. Relax and sleep well. Good night. 🌙

Photographer Theresa Tahara's "I Picked A Bouquet Of Lilacs Today" is a visual delight and the perfect antidote to a day that might have had challenges clouding our minds. Lilacs, signaling spring's renewal, the blessing of sunlight and shadow and crystal clarity light up our eyes, bring a smile and lift our spirits. Sleep beautifully. Good night. 🌙
A skilled painter's creative spirit moves past the boundaries of a canvas and takes us on a journey with his vision. Here plein air artist David Lussier in his "Seacoast Summertime" takes us where we can enjoy a full view of the peaceful cove where the water gently meets the shore, have our eyes and our mind travel to the farther shore and then higher into the vast sky. Enjoy the feeling of freedom it gives you and let it carry you into a relaxed night's sleep. Good Night.
How awesome are the beauty and perfection of Mother Nature's gifts, captured so compellingly by artist/photographer Hub Willson. Stroll through his delightful visual garden and find comfort, nourishment and healing for whatever has bruised your soul. Wishing you a blessed night's sleep. 🌙
An enthusiastic bow to the extraordinary Hub Willson !
Take in nature's magnificence and a deep breath, releasing any tension that has taken up residence anywhere in your body. If we care for her and treat her with respect, Mother Nature will do right by us to help heal a hurting spirit. Wishing you a deeply restful night. Sleep well. 🌙
Thanks to plein air artist David Lussier for sharing this sighting of an impending storm captured today with his camera rather than with his brush.
Even the smallest act of kindness resonates deeply, benefiting not only the recipient, but also the giver along with anyone who observes the moment. It has ramifications we may not hear about for a time or never. It's enough to know that kindness offered sends out positive ripples that spread farther than we can imagine. Take a moment to reach out each day, if you can, and be comforted knowing that you've done your best. Sleep well. 🌙
Artist Jan Norbert Dubrowin's "End of Day (View from Window)" gently invites us to transition from the day's active pace to the evening's quiet. Fluff your favorite pillow, pull up your comfiest blanket and scrunch your way into the comfort of your favorite spot to rest the night through. Sleep beautifully. 🌙
Go for a last walk in the night. Absorb the quiet around you and let it flood your mind and your soul so that you can lay your head down on your pillow in total repose. Artist Tai-Meng Lim, whose breathtaking paintings incorporating light in the darkness, leads us on the lit path of our walk under the trees silhouetted against the deep blue night sky in his "Night in the Park."
A perfect single rose "After the Rain" promising budding perfection to come from artist Doris Joa to celebrate our being and the gift of another day during which to do the best we can for ourselves and others. Stay strong and be comforted in the knowledge of how special and unique, yet together, each one of us is. Sleep well. Good night. 🌙
