This last week in July is always a favorite for family vacations. This year, though, the intense heat, drought conditions and horrific wildfires in Canada, are not really conducive for outdoor adventures. But I think staying home has some wonderful advantages – the birds are in a feeding frenzy most days at the feeders, the gardens are truly at their peak with everything in bloom, and we can hear the loons on the lake most evenings. And driving in the country, you are sure to see a couple or even a whole gaggle of Sandhill Cranes gathered in the fields or meadows. It’s a thrill to see them thriving again! We so enjoy living in this region.
This week’s painting, “Smoky Blue,” 7” x 13” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, captures a forest landscape on a hazy day.
