Summer is here!

Summer is here - it slipped in the door today.  The temperatures in NE Ohio are very warm and humid.   The weather man is predicting a cool front coming in tomorrow evening.   That will be welcome.  Some much needed rain arrived on Sunday and Monday.  The garden seemed to leap overnight.   The flowers had a lovely bath and everything renewed.

I took the opportunity to enjoy morning's mist with Sarge.   He always joins me as I move about in the garden.  We check out what is blooming.   Perhaps a weed or two will get a pull.


With the arrival of this warmer season the mowing slows a bit and the frenzy of spring passes.    Summer is my time to sit back and relax.   I catch up on my reading and art.

  I have stretched a couple of sheets of cold-press and hot press paper - revisited some old sketches -

      



gathered a few photo references - and am in the process of experimenting with some different color mixes.

Will keep you posted as things progress.

It is time now to go "look-up" - hope you will too.
Looking Up

Wishing you God's Blessings for a wonderful summer!

  1. We're getting mid-90's here and the humidity has arrived too. Unfortunately, we just aren't getting much rain. Your art is so beautiful, Debbie. So wish I could have work like this!

I love reading your comments. Thanks for leaving one.

Abundance

We have had an abundance of rain in the last couple of days.  To say we are very soggy is an understatement. Chippy Chipmunk is not bothered...
