the longer they kept her
on the plate
under the bell jar
the more she began to vanish

SOC: purple purple and yellow


not sure where this drawing came from
had a slightly different piece in mind
fun how art has a life of it's own
inspiring you each step of the way

purple purple and yellow are this weeks Summer of Color prompts

Summer Solstice!


Summer for me 
is a season to wander mountain roads

to do things that i begin to long for in the snowy months
deep seasons are like that
they each hold their unique activities
 

i still find it strange
that with the beginning of summer
the days begin to get shorter 
and 
nights longer

~

Sweet and blessed Solstice to You all!
(whether is is Summer or Winter in  your land)

Veronica hosted Drawing Challenge this weekend
her theme: Ocean
well our ocean here in Montana is our lakes
and we have so many!

two friends went to Two Medicine last week
one took a photo of the other
and i asked if i could use it for inspiration:


I also just got back from camping there
it was so beautiful!

my ocean is a lake

my painting is of lovely Brooke doing yoga at it's shore
