We tend to remember the bigger moments, but it is the regular evenings that build the overall feeling of it. For me, that is what summer brings.
Not a complete change, but a shift in how the everyday feels. And that is pretty wonderful.

The cherry painting I posted this week started pretty simple. Pink canvas, rough shapes, and the usual amount of wondering if it was going to work out. It always reaches a point in the middle where I am not sure, and then something clicks and I cannot paint fast enough. That is the part I love most about the process, even when it does not feel great in the moment. Tell me in the comments: do you have a color combination you keep coming back to? Mine is obviously pink and red and blue right now!

The lily pad painting started as a bunch of overlapping pencil circles on a piece of paper. That is usually how it goes. You rough out the shapes, do a small study to work out the color, then commit to the full thing. I always used to be scared of drawing - I could never get what I pictured in my head the right way on the paper. Then I (finally!) realized there is no right way! The pencil sketch is now one of my favorite parts of any painting because it looks messy enough that nothing has been wasted yet. Everything is still possible. Did you find the tiny pink lily bud just waiting to bloom?
Save this one for when you need a little summer peace on the pond!
