Balmy September

Softly trees let go of leaves

Final round of blooms.

Sketching blooms from my yard with graphite and watercolor.

Start with crayon scribble!

Add some watercolor!

Define a few petals with acrylic.

Cut into mini art pieces for further exploration.

Oooooh!!!! I really like these!!!

Cheers,

Bev

Stolen time rushes

Past the day or the season

You grasp the moment.

Fall wildflowers sway

And I’m caught with cricket song

A grasshopper jumps.

I went to sketch at the Dorothea Dix Sunflower Garden.

Here is my final piece:

Across field of gold

You came to me with your heart

And I met you there.

Heat rises from ground

Humid waves of plus ninety

Breeze warms drips of sweat.

Sam and I took a walk. So hot!

We both wrote haikus.

Sam

Streets covered in ice
Yearning for the summer sun
That we have today

Bev

Cicadas, crickets
Buzz from trees, dry tall grassland
Hazy heat August.

Oh so fun with bright summer colors!

Slow stitching kit listed in my Etsy shop!

Cheers,

Bev
