Summer House

Summer House

This house stays empty all winter and one of the first things that lets you know it is occupied for the summer is the sudden transformation of all the window boxes which someone comes and takes care of one morning in May, just before Memorial Day week-end.  It's fun to see all the instant flowers planted around the house because the workers also do all the flower beds around the house on the same day.

Striped Chair

Striped Beach Chair

I painted this because I love the stripes on the chair.  I'm becoming a little obsessed with stripes lately.  Actually I have painted this before and I wanted to try it again in the square format.

The first one is hanging in a beach house at Bald Head Island and the owner tells me she really enjoys it.  I put the sandals in this time and tried to recapture the great feeling of a morning on the beach, just reading the newspaper.

It was a challenge to get the color of this flower just right.  It is a very bright and happy color.

I am having fun with stripes in my paintings.

What fun it is to celebrate having three dads in the family now!  It was also fun to remember what a great dad I had and all the love and gratitude I still feel for him.

I can already taste those delicious tomato sandwiches that I'm

going to be making all summer!

It's difficult to think anything but pleasant thoughts while eating a homegrown tomato.

I'm talking about these flowers, and maybe me, too.

I just love it  that so many of the containers  bedding plants

are sold in now are as colorful as the flowers. These Petunias need to be

planted soon but they have kind of had to wait in line.  I think it just might be their

turn tomorrow.
