Summer

Summer

 

Summer makes a grand entrance,

stretching forth lazily, from the fertile earth of Spring.

Clothed in lush yellows and vibrant greens

in shades of apple, celery, lime and mint.

Her morning dew sparkles like a web of diamonds.

By noon, her jewels have turned to petals of pastel.

She lingers, lazy and sultry, through late day

under a canopy of blue and white.

At sunset she slips into a gown of majestic purple

and settles in…to listen to the music of the night…

Final Journal Pages

This is an entirely experimental Blog post as it is the first time I am posting since getting my i Mac!! But my son is patiently trying to make me understand how to access my photos once I get them into my computer!!(thank you,
Ryan) I did figure out how to download and edit them on my own but I am used to the PC way of saving them, etc. and I HATE CHANGE!!!! But I sure am enjoying the speed with which the i Mac “delivers!” sigh…I have to keep reminding myself that I didn’t learn to navigate the PC overnight either. (but I was younger then…ha!) So anyway, this is one of the last pages in the Art Journal that I have been working on for a few years now. It depicts some of the special times and people in my life journey and I thoroughly enjoyed and savored creating these last few pages!!

 

And these are the very final pages of this journal…photos of me through the years doing various activities and “poses” as a child on the left and the “me of today” on the right. This Art Journal has been so much fun for me to create and some of the entries depict the wonderful journey that is my life. So with my i Mac education now in it’s infancy, the journey of life and creativity continues (I hope) for a long time to come. Hopefully my posts will become more faithful again now that I have jumped this hurdle with the help of my son, my daughter and daughter-in-law and even my 9 and 10 and a half year old grandchildren as well as a few patient friends!! Life is a continuous education and I pray I never stop learning…..

Woven – mixed media

I did this acrylic/alcohol relief painting but didn’t like the way it came out so I sliced it with my paper cutter and wove it into a colorful design. Now I’m trying to decide on a background….stark white…dense black or something with color…

I do love the colors now that there is some separation and form. It’s fun to just play around with something like this and see what happens!

Illustration Friday…”Shades”

The Illustration Friday word for the week is “Shades” and this trio of cuties are sporting theirs as they head off to snail mail a letter!

Orange, yellow & browns…”Yield”

I really enjoy getting into a palette of colors and seeing the different ways I can translate them onto a canvass. This geometric acrylic painting uses the same colors as the abstract painting I posted a week or so ago. Isn’t it great to see how different these colors look when used in a more structured way? The Illustration Friday word was “yield” for this week so this is my depiction of the more traditional yield sign….
