A hazy warm summer day painting plein air with friends last week. 
What a view that this gentleman let our plein air group paint from.


"July Exuberance", 20x16 Mixed Media by Kelley Carey MacDonald
I am a little greedy when it comes to seeds and flowering plants, I love and want them ALL.  And the end of July rewards (?) me with Every kind of blossom, all jumbled together, reaching high and bursting with color - all order and planning jettisoned! 


Victoria Chesley Brega “A Good Read”  12” x 18” acrylic 
“ My niece Lyd relaxing afloat Uptacamp in Maine.  My old iPad is starting to pixilate a bit, which actually made an  interesting version of the cloud patterns on the water… Maybe a good sketch for a larger painting.”


"Garden Gate" 5 1/2"x7"n Oil by Pam Copeman



"Zinnias Forever" 10"x7" Acrylic by Page Pearson Railsback


"Oh, What a Perfect Day!" ink & watercolor by Jody Regan.  Created a watercolor journal while spending time on Monhegan Island, ME, this summer.  Each day is perfect, walking the island, drawing the comings and goings, meeting and chatting with people, always with the rugged backdrop of Manana Island across the harbor.

I love being near any kind of water in summer. Looking at all the different rocks brings me joy.
