i had promised to get my blog up to date,  Life 101 got in the way,  I have been busy with some workshops that I was teaching.  Then we decided to have a garage sale so there was a lot of prep for that.  then the week before i went out to paint with some artists.  New environment so i fell.  of my !!  LONG STORY SHORT,,,,broken nose, fractured humorous, broken bone in shoulder, GLAD  it was my left arm. The scrapes on my knees, nose and forehead are healing nicely.

So i will try my best to catch up.  maybe i should just paint in the studio... hard to type with one hand,   Watch your step.

 Back to posting all of my flowers painting that are flowers from my garden.  There are just not enough hours in the day. Spent time delivering paintings to shows that I have gotten into...that is a good thing.  I am also participating in our town yard sale.  Oh my gosh.  That is a lot of work.  Finding stuff that you are ready to move on to someone else, cleaning it and pricing it.  Then you have to clean the garage ,,, that is also a good thing.  I have been painting some 1/2 sheet size watercolors of local-favorite subjects,  but I want to post these flower paintings first.  I already started getting some printed into cards.

Have a great week.  This is such a beautiful time of year....warm weather and new fall colors to paint with.  Enjoy each day.

Delphinium II

 watercolor

I wanted to do a little close up of the delphinium flowers that are yearly beauties in my garden.  This is the time of year when we must enjoy our gardens as summer is coming to an end.  I weeded the other day and it is still looking really good.  Gardens are a lot of work.  They are expensive to plant and time consuming to maintain...but they are little blessings when they are in bloom and they make great subject matter.   Take time to smell the flowers.
