Relishing Summer

So much to be grateful for this week...
...blue skies...

...warmer temperatures...

...LONG days...

...and Summer's Screaming Green palette.

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?

    I'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

  7. I 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.

  9. 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.
    best, nadia
