Then, if ever, come perfect days. And today, so far, has been a wonderful day. Nothing major has happened. I walked the dog at 6am, as usual, and picked up things to draw, as I did a couple of years ago. (You have to click on the thumbnail in that earlier post to see what I'm talking about.) I was surprised to see how much my sketching style has changed since then.
Then I painted another of my white- lines- on- color pieces, this time of some roses from my garden.
Speaking of my garden, here's a photo from this week. The phox and bee balm have arrived.
And another good thing: it's supposed to rain! We need it.
Happy end of June to you all!
Your garden is gorgeous as are your drawings and paintings. Change is inevitable. If we stay the same, then we will stagnate. If we are open to change, and embrace it, then we were learn and grow. I think confidence and comfort with our medium is the biggest difference that we notice. With that comes courage to try things we might not have 2 years ago. Keep up the wonderful work.

Thanks, everyone! I wish I knew where the white lines are taking me---we'll have to wait and see! Sarah, I'd gladly take some of your rain. We ended up getting very little.

I love both as well, but you have gained in confidence. I love the white line paintings- it'll be interesting to see where you go with them..

Now your garden is rewarding you for all that effort you invested for the wedding. Enjoy, it's gorgeous. I'm loving your white flowers on the coloured ground - amazingly consistent lines yet so free and spirited. You're a wonder Ms L
