Fall Greetings

So many sunflowers are hanging their heavy heads. Another sign of the season, loaded with seeds and tempting all the birds.

Back in greeting card mode and getting ready for a show.

Just a Quick One...

All tied up with domestic goddess work today. Shopping at the grocery warehouse and returning home to clean and organize the freezer then break all the bulk food into portions, make a bunch of 4 oz. burgers and then pack it all away. It was already late afternoon by the time I finished.

I was determined to complete another card but had to squeeze it in and still cook dinner.

A quick fall landscape (trying to match the sky I saw on the route home) and don't tell anyone, I forgot the barn.
So what do you say? Missing from picture...

Felicitations

I'm still at it and will be carrying on with greetings for several more days (if not weeks) It's great to be able to take the orchids out of the window and pop them on my table to paint.










This was a good year for the orchids. They bloomed to welcome my house guests and now do a little portrait sitting.













I must also give a nod to the beach lovers celebrating a birthday. This is a beach in the Abacos.

Just one -

Here's just one flower from the yellow/orange/coral primrose. Things just don't always go according to plan but they sure go!
Working on the bunch and hope to be able to post it here.

Summer is over and these bright little plants give me a boost.

Fall Fruit - Apples and Cider Oh MY!

I'm in the market for a few good Macouns!

Got One!

So far away and so many changes since I saw him last. My littlest grandson with his first tooth! He's already got several more but this is a moment to remember.

Signs

They're everywhere! Signs of Fall - I have too many trees and right now I have too many fallen leaves all over the yard. Since my neighbors have few or no trees, I share the leaves with them...to help celebrate the season!








Since they are so readily available, why not paint them?





Sometimes, on a walk through the woods, it's better to look down.

Welcome to Venice

It was a warm Spring day when I exited the train station in Venice and realized how different, exciting and fun this trip would be! Sadly, most of my slides from this trip are missing.
I stumbled across a tube of Venetian red...so here we are!

Maybe two...

Second in a series of Daisy Portraits.

Fall Colors and Volcanoes

Heading to the land of vivid fall colors, I hope I haven't missed the peak!

I'm sure I'll be busy playing with a new baby and catching up with new houses and many other changes but I really want to capture a few shots of foliage.
The weather here is perfect, sunny and warmer, no rain! Who could ask for a better fall day. Even clear enough to capture Mt St Helens and Mt Hood in the distance. Yes, it snowed on the mountains...just beautiful!















What a gorgeous day!
