So much to be grateful for this week...
 |
| ...blue skies... |
 |
| ...warmer temperatures... |
 |
| ...LONG days... |
 |
| ...and Summer's Screaming Green palette. |

| crab apple blossoms |
 |
| baby pine cones |
Best of all, our Daughter is coming for a week's visit tomorrow and our Son is coming up to work for the summer on Sunday.
I will be taking a little break from studio work this week. Here are some projects in mid-stream, waiting for my return:
 |
| detail of one of a series of procion dye paintings, waiting to be stitched |
 |
| monoprint, acrylic paint and prismacolor pencil on cotton, 6"x8", waiting to be stitched |
 | |
| containers of low-water emersion over-dyes, all cottons, which I will rinse out tomorrow while I wait for Daughter's plane to land in the morning |
Hope your week is going well. Got gratitude?
Great landscape photos -- I'd love to get up to Alaska sometime.
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful EVERY DAY for an unfettered life, no have-tos or shoulds, and everything I need.
Have a great week, too, you. Enjoy your kids! xo
Screaming green for sure. I am going to paint today. . . unfortunately most of it will be with deck paint, but I am GRATEFUL for the SUN!!
ReplyDeleteSo delicious to have children at home. I always wish all of ours were closer. Enjoy yours!
Wonderful photos Sus -- they'd be great painting subjects. and the ongoing projects look like they, too, will be winners.

Fine photos. beautiful dyed fabrics, and good news about your children, enjoy them, I also I have two daughters far away, and when they come to visit us is a party (then, I cry farewell, but everything is too much to ask, right?) :))
ReplyDeleteI too am loving the long daylight hours, the blue of the sky, the warm temperatures and the green of the leaves! Thanks for sharing the beauty in your world - the lovely scenery, your amazing creations and that you get to spend some time with your children. I too am feeling blessed to have my children (plus another mothers daughter) with us for the summer.
ReplyDeletewonderful pictures, great nature! and your work is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a happy time with your children! :-) mano
Hi, Sus. Your scenery photos are always so gorgeous and remind me of the differences in light that we experience. Of course, I paid particular attention to your pieces that are awaiting stitching--lovely. And I rather fancied "Nadia's View" in the previous post with the warm colors.
ReplyDeletebest, nadia
