Summer, Finally


At last, a run of warm, sunny weather! Temperatures in the late 20s, and in some cases, 30s. Bliss! Just right for a pleasant visit to the beach to enjoy a cooling sea breeze in the afternoon, complete with sun shielding hats and umbrellas that look like huge, colourful halos. Sitting on the sea wall in brilliant colours seems like a great idea to me.
I am trying out some different paper with a smooth surface, so far so good. It will be interesting to see how things go with different media.

Not Much of a Summer So Far


It hasn't been a great summer. So far. I know I was really hot at the beginning of the month, but that has pretty much been it. Good for the garden growing, not so good for ripening your tomatoes, and not good for the desired summery feeling we come to expect at this time of year! It will probably fine up once everyone goes back to school!
