It seems like forever since I've posted here. I'd like to say I've been busy painting, but in fact we've been busy settling in, and getting the yard in shape. That meant getting bids for an irrigation system in back, and some updating in front; removal of old remnants of grass; xeriscaping the back yard after preparing a plan for submission to the water authority; redoing the front yard. Well, it goes on and on. We've just about finished buying plants and shrubs so maybe we can move forward. Our tiny veggie garden -- 45 square feet -- is doing well and we haven't had to buy lettuce or spinach for almost two months. Lots of tomatoes on the plants and the 3 varieties of peppers are doing well too.
We attended the IAPS (International Association of Pastel Societies) conference the end of May and came away inspired!!!! What a wonderful group of talented artists.
Just so you won't think I haven't picked up a stick of pastel, here's a recent painting, 9 x 12, just for fun; an abstract of apple and tangerines. Enjoy.
