Zinnias

Clipped a bunch of zinnias to make little arrangements for painting. Such fun--great colors!

Still Summer...

In my mind summer is officially over once school begins. Maybe it's the teacher in me? However, when temperatures are in the 80s with 90+ percent humidity, it still feels like summer!

Late Bloomers

These are some late bloomers from my garden, including cosmos, black-eyed-susan, and some perennial alliums.

Vintage Seltzer Bottles

Went to the Iron Horse Hotel in Milwaukee this summer. There were vintage seltzer bottles all over the place--in the lobby, the bar, and in their adorable little boutique. These were set up on the window casting a beautiful glow.

Garden Gifts

Both of the items in this painting were gifts! My mom gave the flower bouquet from one of her large hydrangea plants, which look even more beautiful as they've started to dry out. The pumpkins were clipped from our next-door neighbors vine. They recently moved, so it's bittersweet!

This paintings puts me in a TINY bit of an autumn mood, but just a bit!

For My Salsa

We only had one tomato plant this year and it didn't do very well. Luckily my mom had many varieties of plants producing and was more than willing to share. Many amazing batches of salsa were made this summer! Is there anything as delicious as summer tomatoes?

Wisconsin Peaches

This is the first time I have ever seen a peach tree in Wisconsin, and in my own town too. My son and I were on a bike ride and we had to get a closer look. We quickly got off our bikes in disbelief! The owner came out and I asked to take a few photos of her beautiful tree. She then offered us to pick some--what a generous person! A real peach! :) They were delicious too.
