Summer into Fall with art

I don't exactly change my decor with the seasons. Maybe my choice of tablecloth varies by season but nothing specific. The seasons do inspire my artwork though.

I have been using my vacation pictures, both old and new, to inspire a series of casual, almost primitive set of watercolor paintings.

The beach scene above sold in the blink of an eye via social media but I am working on more.

These sailboat paintings are a tiny 4 x 5 mounted on 5 x 6 rag board.

It is pretty tough to think about warm, cozy Fall when the temps are still in the mid-90s but I was asked to contribute to an October show at the Corner Gallery in Norfolk, Va.

The theme is color and form so I have three figures just waiting for hanging day.

Incorporating colors I rarely use is a good way to stretch artistically.

This abstract has the summery title, "Tigerlily" but I think the colors bridge the gap between the seasons.

How do you decorate for Fall?

C'mon summer!

Geez! I thought I'd be sipping a margarita and forgetting to make dinner by now but, NO!

Its so close I can taste it, I think.

Our sons were in a car accident in Pennsylvania the other day and they are OK but my son's injuries involve the joy of "lawyering up". Just when I thought it would get easy.

Thursday was the last day of school for everyone but the seniors and I did manage some quality painting time.

I am darn lucky to have a hiatus from the rudeness of the alarm clock for a few months every year and after this many years of it I get a little cranky towards the end.

I am totally ready to start picking tomatoes, catch fireflies and stay up too late.

An after-dark dinner al fresco seems overdue too.

What summer activities or non-activities are looking forward to?
