For my birthday this week, I bought myself my first watercolor set. I’ve never drawn or painted anything in my life. Thank you for the inspiration.

Good luck to your Mariners! Although I'm disappointed my Giants didn't do well this year, I'd be happy to watch the Mariners knock the Dodgers off their very expensive perch.

I just want to sit and paint with you! We could watercolor the hues of Osage oranges. (I know where some are hiding here in town) Happy Birthday my friend!

My yard is doing it's own marking of the calendar this fall. What with sweet peas blooming and an old Rosemary bush, Too! All this in spite of (or because of?) a long dry summer that still goes on and two nights below 30 degrees. The recent promised rain was scant, if at all. Still the cool nights have greened up the field and I can see it is a respite for the foliage. Blessing to you Lorene for sharing the beauty you see!

I'm a new reader. So beautiful the way you combine your watercolors with actual pieces from nature in your photographs. Those images are works of art!
