A friend of mine has the coolest artwork in her living room. It is four very large canvases: one big tree divided up in the four seasons with a bible verse to go with each one. Using that as inspiration, I wanted to paint the same tree in the four seasons and then I'll attach the canvases together to hang as one piece. The verse is done in a Sharpie. I need to go over them with a paint pen so they can be seen. And painting the trees with a pallet knife was challenging. It was difficult for me just to paint the same tree four times. So, I consider them a work in progress. Only the winter tree is considered a finished work (except the verse).
I realized this weekend that I never duplicate my art. I just can't mass produce. Someone asked: can you do that again but in a different color pallet. Hmm. No, I really don't like to do that.
I got so much done this weekend. I even slept a good eight hours per night. Some of those crazy ladies stayed up until 4a!! I enjoyed the pool and even got a massage. I needed the massage. She said I was the worst one. I get knots between my shoulder blades. She had to really work! But I feel oh so much better!!
Saturday breakfast was a fresh blueberry French toast bake. Lunch was chicken salad and shrimp salad. And dinner was grilled hamburgers with all the fixings. Perfect summertime menu!!
Well that puts a lid on June and now I'm ready for July...
