My annuals looked so wonderful two weeks ago. Then the hot August weather came. I have alot of deadheading to do. But it is so humid out there. These little zinnias seem to like the heat though. I have 5 different glass vases. They are about 3" high and just perfect for one or two blooms. That would make a great series. It is fun to paint small canvases. Not too much pressure just enjoying the process of putting paint on the surface.

These were intimidating to paint. Lots of shadows and delicate color. Not sure I'm done with tweaking this but I did sign it. So we'll see. Let me know what you think. Should I change anything?

This was a good painting day! I love the way these cherries turned out. I even signed this one!!! I'm not sure the picture image is that great though.

You know summer is here when the fruit and vegies are ripe! And I can't help but paint them also. The weather has been hot and humid lately. I forgot to water my plants for 2 days and now they are suffering. We were getting spoiled with those 80 degree days. Stay tuned for cherries, scallions and who knows what else....

I love summer because of ripe tomatoes. I want to eat them like an apple! They are so good with mozarella and balsamic vinegar... or salsa... or tomato pie! Yum Yum. I'm happy with the way this turned out. It was a good day of painting!
