Thievery and other Happenings

Friends I am sad to say that in the midst of  the lovely month of July I discovered a thief.

For quite some time this peach tree has been losing its lovely fruit.
In the spring it was loaded with the bountiful promise of an abundant harvest.
In my dreams I was baking fresh peach pie...savoring golden sweet jam on my morning toast and having plenty to share with family members.

Alas it isn't happening.  Today on my usual walk  I spotted the cause of my disappearing fruit.

Right in broad daylight and not in the least upset getting caught - here he is!  I ask you do you think that face looks the least bit ashamed? 

So it is off to the berry patch I go.
Better hurry before that little rascal decides he wants some berries with his peaches.










By the way I am still doing some painting this summer.

Over at Doodlewash they are celebrating #WorldWatercolorMonth.  Am not participating every day but whenever I can will be posting a bit of art.   It is not too late for others to join.

Well until next time have a blessed week.

Hugs Debbie

P.S.  Watch out for those thieves.   They may appear cute but don't be deceived they will steal your best fruit! 

Doodlewash

A few weeks ago I decided to join Doodlewash.

It is a great sight for artists to connect with others who enjoy painting with watercolor.

Tonya Lee at Scratchmade Journal was hosting a great giveaway which I was blessed to win.

There was a trio of Da Vinci paints, travel brushes from  Wild Plein, a great block of Hahnemuhle watercolor paper, and a beautiful  handmade brush holder by Aneta Kochr.  She has a lovely shop at Etsy - Nature Sketches. 

Also included in this wonderful package of goodies was a wonderful canvas bag displaying art from Scratchmade Journal.

It was like receiving a Christmas package in May! 

Doodlewash will once again be organizing World Watercolor Month in July.  This sounds like a fun event.   Charlie O'Shields began Doodlewash several years ago.   Hope you will hop over there and check out the sight as well as Tonya Lee at Scratchmade Journal.

Think I will now get busy doing some painting with those new art supplies!

May everyone have a wonderful week.

God Bless

Debbie
