Studio time has been spent finishing up one series (abstract landscapes) , and adding to another (more traditional landscapes). I'm getting the abstract landscapes ready for my first showing with the Women Painters of Washington's gallery here in Seattle. It will open in early August.
All the while, I've also been very involved with our garden(s)...watering, weeding, moving 'starts', and trying to shape this little piece of earth that we steward. I wish I had more time for it.
This evening I had the pleasure of watching one of our local raccoons traverse across "our" property. It stopped and climbed (all 4 paws) into our little reflecting bowl, then it scurried on, across the multiple terraces which secure us onto this hillside. These are experiences that I relish.... simple, yet rich. (Perhaps I'll try to paint the raccoons... to be considered.)
