SUMMER DAYS ON PEWAUKEE LAKE

 Summer days are waning and afternoons sitting comfortably by the water will be few and far between.  What a peaceful place this is and filled with plenty of activity for watchers like myself.  Here are two small watercolors I worked on while sitting on the water's edge on some beautiful summer days.

Both paintings can be found in my Etsy shop by clicking here.

My favorite summer activity is working in my gardens.  Grooming, watering, weeding, feeding, and finally PICKING!  Now, it's August and the summer garden is bursting with inspiration!  Supposedly, yellow and orange represent freshness, optimism, remembrance, loyalty, and joy, among other things.  That's a lot of positive stuff making yellow and orange great colors to have in your home.  This painting was done on a warm summer night in my little home studio.
