...a summer to remember? The Creston valley was so hot in July that we were sitting in 36 degree weather in the shade as we enjoyed our family reunion. In August, a visit from John's son arrived with showers and the perfect weather for that coastal man. September is so confused that I'm wearing a winter coat as I walk to the gym in the morning, and I'm sporting my bikini (if I had one) in the afternoon when it hits 24 degrees. The best part? There was no fire season in our area this year, and very little smoke. That's a welcome relief from the last five years or so.
I kept my promise to myself, and enjoyed family and friends this summer, with little artwork amassed to show for it. I did manage to play with some black backgrounds on the following 6" x 6" papers. All, of course, were done in an attempt to use the amassed scraps that seem to 'mountain up' in my studio.
