I've been exploring the season.  Here's an illustration I did for an artist's swap - trading small artworks with other artists.

Summer lingers on.......Warm and colorful.  Here's a new illustration to celebrate the season.

Here is something new and a little bit different.....

Ready for devouring!  Just picked fruit warm from the sun.  

Another neighbor of mine is really creative in the garden.  This is her garden shed, covered with clematis, and it makes a great subject for my new painting.

This butterfly has been hanging around my garden for a couple of days. I took some artistic liberty with his coloring.

My neighbor brought me this bunch of lilacs a couple of weeks ago. They smelled heavenly and I wanted to "keep them forever" so I made this little illustration.

I want to slow down now.  I have been living my "to do" list for a while and it's time to look around me again and enjoy the view!
