Don't these guys look like they are so comfortable together? Years of togetherness and unconditional support and partnership...
This painting is something a little different for me. It's a study of light and simple brushstrokes. The reference photo came from the Wetcanvas' Reference Library (the most wonderful copyright free library, available for artists)
I really enjoyed doing this piece and would like to try another study. Quick little 6x6 piece.
Thank you so much for dropping by. Please come visit again, soon.
It was a early and unexpected long ride back up to camp at Winthrop, Maine but it was worth it. I am glad to have Meredith home and I can stop worrying.
AND as a bonus, it was such a great treat to sneak a hug and kiss with Laura. She's having a great time at camp and I could see it all over her face. I swear she looked older and her beautiful hair looked longer, trailing behind her as she ran up to us. She's definitely staying at camp for the full two weeks! Sigh.......
I love the duel colors on the hibiscus with the braided trunk :D .
Thought it would be interesting to show how big Tom is, the tomato plant from the windowsill! He is almost 5ft tall!!! (Remember the picture I posted a few days ago?)
Here's a better idea of how big he actually is. I am 5'10"... He's up to my chin!
Remember the passion flower seeds from a few months ago? I was lucky and grew more than 10 plants! Most of them are planted in the backyard. I plopped this one and another one into flower pots so I can bring them inside, this fall. Hoping the ones planted in the ground survive the brutal cold weather this winter but incase they don't, I will have a couple saved inside for next year.
These pictures were taken while doing some weeding, early this morning. Already sweaty, yucky and hot.
