The Newness of Summer

Ok its been a while, a long while, but look I'm still alive! I've been keeping busy mostly by graduating from college, being engaged, getting a kitten (Calpurnia), figuring out graduate school plans, the GRE, and trying to paint more as well as sell more paintings. My eye twitches just reading that list. Speaking of things that I'm doing I also started a new blog its mostly an art journal/ a way to sell my paintings.



This one is called "The Fish".

Like I said school is out (for an entire year!) so at least I'm cooking/baking more as well as taking more walks, I also hope to be blogging more. Seeing as I now have two blogs I pretty much have too.

Dreaming of Summer

The Morning Flowers

(Watercolor painting I did in class late last year)

Quiet Days

Interesting mushrooms, which seem to keep me company during my thesis writing extravaganza.

Lots of snow on the ground here, or at least a lot for a Floridian. I'm dreaming of quilting and typing my little fingers off.

Long Time, No Post

So...I'm a bum and don't post ever. But I've been a bit distracted recently. Can you guess why? ;) Eric asked me to marry him on December 8th, on the front lawn of the college we both attended. It was right after seminar (so about 10pm) and I turned a corner and there he was on my favorite bench. Everything after that is a bit blurred...but he got down on one knee and I said yes!
Hopefully I will be able to post more in the future but I also have a giant thesis waiting to be written.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Traveling Days

Last glimmers of summer, caught a few weeks ago while strolling through Longwood gardens. I love the symmetry of these flowers. Today, driving up to Pennsylvania all the trees were an orange red and some so yellow that they almost glowed. Most of the fields are empty now with one here and there still having some dried corn. In one field I saw about a hundred black birds which took flight just as we were passing by. It looked as if someone had flung a shawl of black lace into the sky. Which reminds me of the black cows I saw standing in an orange field while a pure white cat was creeping about the bushes.



Did another watercolor this time of a sunset over a lake. It reminds me of the Once and Future King in some ways. Like a white horse should just come strolling through the frame at any moment. I really love watercolor there is something so airy about this medium, it is as if one were painting with light.
