Winter Greys for a New Year

Playing with a limited subtle palette, feeling wintry.  New Years winter greys.

Seasonal

 It never snows on southern Vancouver Island, well today it did!!!!!

Inspired to create a painted wreath not to go out in the flurries and pick to make one. Last of the programs for the library coming up, looking forward to a weeks holiday and big kids home for the holidays :)

View from the kitchen window, there is an inlet, ocean and mountains somewhere out there.

Storm Survivors Inktober

After the storms of the past week, power outages and the last of  typhoon songda there are a few soggy flowers left. The garden is winding down and painting time and dark evenings are starting:) A little black and white for Inktober.

Cool Summer Shades

Loving the more delicate shades and tones of summer, too busy growing these, have to make time to paint! :)

Smokey Shades

Pale smokey shades of what is blooming, changing fast. Gardening as fast as I can and still behind.

Swirl

Gardening has been taking up all my time, it's that time of year! A rainy day painting :)
