July and spending time with "family"

The hot days of July are best spent near the water.

White geese run down the hill to the raspberries.

Lovely June

In the grey summer garden I shall find you   

 With day-break and the morning hills behind you.   

There will be rain-wet roses; stir of wings;   

And down the wood a thrush that wakes and sings.   

Not from the past you'll come, but from that deep

Where beauty murmurs to the soul asleep:   

And I shall know the sense of life re-born   

From dreams into the mystery of morn   

Where gloom and brightness meet. And standing there   

Till that calm song is done, at last we'll share

The league-spread, quiring symphonies that are   

Joy in the world, and peace, and dawn’s one star.

Idyll- by Siegfried Sassoon

Wishing you all an abundance of sunshine, good health,

safe travels and long warm summer days. 

New paintings for spring

 Emerging from a monochrome

winter,

color finds its way

into new paintings

"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, fluttering from the autumn tree” Emily Bronte 

Nature's palette continues to change.

Nut browns and pale wheat.
