Welcome, Summer

Hayfield Evening
30 x 40
Available at Hildt Galleries, Chicago

Our weeks of rain gave way to a few days of sunshine this week and the landscape responded by bursting forth in that sort of disheveled, frowzy way usually reserved for late July. The wrens that hatched in the shop have flown the nest. Crickets, and bees and mosquitoes have all come out in force. And, I ran into a huge box turtle on my way to the studio this morning. Hello, Summer.

    Love that turquoise "line."

    Watch out for those mosquitoes! Boy, do I hate 'em.

    Wow! The hints or subtleties of the water reflections are perfect.

    Thanks Gary- I just visited your blog and enjoyed your work as well as reading about your life in Dubois. For several years I visited and painted in and around Jackson during the fall months- haven't been back since 2006 and your commentary and photos really made me miss it!
