I've posted a couple of new paintings on this site.  I have to admit that I haven't been very prolific this summer.  I'm glad I finished the painting Out My Front Door.  I'd like to say that's what my garden looks like, but I'd be lying.  Let's just say it is similar.  I've not really done such realistic painting, but I just got carried away in the details. My daughter got married in California, which was great fun.  Other than obsessing on that and working on my yard, I haven't done too much painting.

When the weather is nice, I just want to loaf around, go to the farmer's market, and putter in the garden.  I've been picking blueberries every other day and I can eat them by the bowlful.  My other obsession has been getting rid of the snakes in my yard.  I hate snakes and they had just about driven me out of the yard.  I finally hired someone to come clean up the hill and removed all the foliage from around the house.  Then I got these ultrasonic snake repellers that come from Australia and some rodent repellers that are suppose to help.  I learned all this from an online forum.  It was written by people in Georgia that have much more to worry about, snake-wise,  than my little garter snakes.  

It's suppose to be in the 90s today which is the signal for me to stay out of the yard and into the studio.
