It's fun being able to pick flowers from the garden and have them in the house.

Fall Planting

Yesterday I pulled out a whole bed of impatiens that had been gorgeous all summer but suddenly got "stripped" by unknown insects. I am going to put these flowers in their place to bloom until frost. The impatiens nearby in large pots were not bothered at all.  We usually do not get our first frost until early November so I am hoping that will be true this year.

Holding On To Summer

It is nice to be back in my studio painting again now that my show is hanging at Franklin Square Gallery.  The paintings have been finished for awhile, but the framing, wiring, pricing, and all the rest consumed most of my time last week. I was pretty happy with the end result. It is always a great feeling to step back and look at all the paintings together once they are on the wall. The show features twenty six new works.

There was a very nice article about the show in the State Port Pilot, which is the newspaper in Southport.  I am looking forward to the First Friday art walk and reception on Friday, September 7, 5:00 to 7:00 pm.  Please stop by and say hello if you are in the area.

Pink Roses

These roses just called out to me to paint them and since they are so fully open, I know they will not last much longer.  They sure are pretty right now, though!

Flowers On The Porch

Flowers On The Porch

Summer is made for sitting on the porch and enjoying the view and I did plenty of that this week( in addition to painting on the porch.)  Fortunately, the breezes cooperated and I was comfortable even when temperatures rose.
