Summer days are fleeing so quickly. Seems like there's never enough time to do all the things you want to do.  I've been enjoying every bit of it, and I hope you have been as well.  Sharing another view of my garden, this was painted a day after "Summer Garden, I" and is a nice companion piece to it. The the montbretia flowers have fallen to the ground, and the sunflowers are beginning to droop under their own weight. Even though it's still August, a cool wind has blown through, and Fall is 'knocking on the door'. I suppose it's going to give up and just barge right in one of these days...a little too soon for my tastes.

Oh Summer - how delightful you are!! 

I look forward to meeting up with you each year...and enjoying every single day with you!  

But you leave after only a few fleeting months...

every. single. year. 

Paintings of your sweetest memories are mine to share, 

and enjoy throughout the rest of the year.

Reminding me of why I love you, 

again, and again.  

 

Ode To Vincent (sunflower garden)

11"x14" oil on Belgian linen mounted on archival panel

"Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams!"
- Paul Gaugin


Last summer we grew a variety of sunflowers called Van Gogh. They were oh-so tall (six-footers) and we had them next to our 2 butterfly bushes, one dark and one light purple. "Ode To Vincent" is an 11"x14" oil on Belgian linen mounted on archival board. Of course when I came across the quote from Gaugin, I realized I've been daydreaming about what our garden will look like this summer. So far, there's just about an inch of daffodils poking through the tundra! Our growing season may be short, but it's pretty spectacular once it finally gets here!
