Mon Bouquet du Jour

Mein Wochenende Strauss




Painting is going well, kiln firing is going well...need to continue painting but wanted to check in and wish you a wonderful weekend.






This little Ladybug has changed colors to fit into its Tarahumara Sunflower environment,  that is what I'm doing, disappearing from blogging...but only for a  little while.






My garden is bursting with flowers and vegetables.

Have a great weekend, my dear Blogging Friends.

Gina

    The photograph that magnifies the center of the sunflower is spectacular. I'm looking at it and thnking what a fine mandala it would make. Or perhaps the inside of a yellow bowl!

    I'm still reeling over that close-up of the sunflower - a spectacular image! I hope you manage to take the odd break from painting to sit at that table on the verandah!

    Hi Mark, Is'nt nature amazing? I wonder what could be the purpose for all this perfection.
    And, Mark, happy 1-year anniversary. So glad you decided to begin blogging a year ago. Your posts are always informative, unusual and interesting, which sets you apart from the rest. Congratulations!

    Hi Cassy, thank you for your visit. There are so many sunflower varieties but I think this green centered one is my favorite. I try to grow them every year.

    Dear Karen, Thank you for taking us along to your French villages. Your photos make it possible for us to get a little glimpse into French country life. I love the way you see life in France.

    Hi Sherry, Unfortunately not. We don't leave until September the 20th. We usually go in late September and stay until middle of October. Maybe next time. We would love to meet you in our favorite country. Have an extra special trip.

    I've never heard of or seen a Tarahumara sunflower. I thought it was photoshopped! Amazing! Enjoy your time focused on your art!
