A quiet sort of Saturday

In August, the cast of light starts to change. It is warm gold, not hot white. Garden colors are deeper, warmer, too  --- and blues are giving ways to purples. August is quiet.

I drew my mixed bouquet from the farmers' market with a more delicate line than I normally use, though I didn't set out to. The people at the café were fewer and subdued.  Except for the guy in the baseball cap. He wasn't subdued at all.

Thanks, guys, for taking the time to write your reactions---I really appreciate it. Cin, the flower pieces are always such a surprise to me. I just sit down in front of them and start to draw. It feels a little like being a conduit. I'm happy that you like them.

Laura, I wish I had words to tell you what effect your flower sketches have on me. They are the most incredibly joyous combination of line and color . . . . this one in particular is stunning.

Beautiful as usual. My favorite part is that you included the broken stem on the left of the flower still life.

I would have been to anal and taken it out. Too many years as an Art Director I guess. But the broken stem completes the composition and gives the piece it's depth.

As usual - awesome.

I love the delicate lines and bright lively colours in this drawing. The flowers look so beautiful. This drawing reminds me of the delicate embroideries my grandmother used to do. She adored colour and flowers in particular. The cafe people are wonderful as usual. :o)
