Summer Rain

Summer Rain; the earth smells wonderful, the air is fragrant and warm. The storm passes swiftly and everything grows lush. In the garden foraging occurs looking for the first ripe raspberry, strawberry and blackberry. Tomatoes and basil, overblown dahlias and towering sunflowers, sensory overload!

Summer Reds

Montbretia and grasses, I'm not sure which I like better? With the grass or without?.....What do you think? I'm hoping these will multiply in the garden loving watching the humming birds visit.

Looking Back Feeling Lonely

Summer adventures over, new friends left behind feeling a little lost and lonely.

Carry as many as you can read

Summer reading club is happening at the library. Children ask "How many books can I borrow" I reply as many as you can read or carry. I watch them rush to the Children's department and load up then precariously head to the checkout with a slippery stack. We hear the odd crash.

Sparkler Summer

Summer Sparkler, watercolor and digital.

Starry nights, beach fires, sparklers its all about the magic.

Lost on the wind

Lost on the wind,

Grass seeds  floating

all around.

Haven't quite got

these out of my

system yet.

  Maybe I should add some flowers or other weeds 

(the thistles are getting huge!)

Original Watercolours. Lost, floating and flying

Seeds suspended in the wind

Weeds Grasses and seed-pods. The seeds float suspended in the wind to pop up everywhere. I have decided to embrace nature and find the beauty in weeds. If you can't beat'em celebrate them! For Illustration Friday & Paint Party Friday.

Refresh with a little blue and white

 Refreshing Mint with forget me nots. Mint was the first thing that came to mind with refreshing, then blue and white combination.

Then I couldn't resist adding some poppies for pop!

Sunday playing with new ideas

Playing with backgrounds?
Nigella in bloom, many different shades of blue.  Softer and lighter, using some gouache  and watercolour,
all time favourite flower.

I.F. Mr Bears Secret

Mr Bear always tries to be a good support, go along with whatever his person wants to do. This new passion for dance, ballet and all things pink....its a bit overwhelming but he will leap, strut and be amazed with her.

Just don't tell any other bears; let it be a secret.
