Summer sun and temperatures are here, although summer is yet to begin with the summer solstice.
Working in my garden for the last 2 weeks has been rewarding. It gives me a sigh of delight to enjoy the sight and scents that embrace the air.
With easel and canvas prepared, the abstracted view will be expressed by mind eye and hand.
The images will be smaller than previous summers, an intimacy at the end of my brush will be exactly how I experience the life of these planted lives. They breathe an indelable air into my mind.
Each painting will be of a different element of the garden as it grows and changes.
This place is my Giverny. Monet I am not.
