Summer in the Desert

 This picture was taken on a recent trip

 to the Desert Botanical Garden. 

I love the juxtaposition of the beautiful

delicate flowers, alongside the stiff piercing thorns.

It reminds me of life. 

Summertime is coming. It's held off until

now, and we've had such beautiful weather. 

My husband and I were on our walk this morning

and talking about how this is the longest we've gone

into the year without having to turn on the air conditioner. 

Thanking God for that blessing!

The following are a hand full of some

recent pieces I've painted. 

My husband cut a silhouette of Arizona

out of pine wood for me on our scroll saw 

and I did my thing. Cheerful as

cheerful can be. I really love the 

way this turned out. 

This is a landscape I did on a gallery wrapped

canvas with acrylic paint and posca pens. 

A couple of sweet kitties. . .

and two colorful fish, finish

out the bunch. 

Now it's time for me to get back to work

on a couple projects. 

I hope you're having a wonderful day!
