Days and Weeks


I started working on a 2015 calendar this week and here's the current month in bloom. Also: how are there only three months left to the year?

Appledore Island

Something small I painted this week because I needed to draw the sea. She's going up on Etsy come Monday, but for now she's set aside to dry and dream.

And happy weekend-ing!

Chelidonium

 
I'm a seasonal curmudgeon, wincing whenever the praises of autumn are sung too early (read: August). I like fall as much as the next person. But I like summer too, even the scraggly, overgrown bits that are everywhere right now. So I'm forgoing pumpkin-flavored everything to soak up the last of the season (read: swimming, flip flops, open windows at night and the end of the blackberries).

And speaking of summer, one thing I've been working on over the course of the past few weeks is painting a New England wildflower a day. I'm hoping to make a print when I've finished up, so let's see how long the blooms last. And while we're on the topic of prints, I just popped "The Bibliophiles" into the shop this afternoon.
