Ok. I confess. In the two and a half weeks since my kids have been out of school, I've been goofing off instead of painting. It's such a wonderful time of year. The temperatures here have been perfect - 70 degrees F and sunny. Seattle in the summertime is heavenly! Our family did a lovely hike to Lake Dorothy and we've been biking along the Sammamish River Trail. Every day, I love to just wander through my garden, pull a few weeds, smell the English roses, and pick a handful of tart red currants or juicy strawberries...
This weekend my daughter, Liz and I enjoyed the Bainbridge in Bloom Garden Tour. The big adventure was to travel from our house in Redmond all the way to Bainbridge Island and back without a car. We had fun with city buses and ferries and shuttle buses. It was so good for me to slow down and wait a bit, and just enjoy the ride.
Regarding my watercolors, I am very pleased to announce that I will have three paintings on display and for sale in the Overlake Hospital South Tower beginning July 18. This display is part of the ongoing EAFA "Healing Arts" exhibit. My watercolors will be hung in the lovely 4th floor lounge. Paintings included will be "Portrait of a Peony", "Sweet Summer's Song" and "The Bridge to Far Away".
I hope you are getting outside and enjoying the summer, too!
