Summer

Summer is here!!!And life is so easy and so much fun!July has been such a lovely month so far.Not too hot or too cool,just right!We do much more things outside together as a family.Biking,grilling,hiking,kayaking,eating alfresco in our yard,gardening and more.I try to dole some time for reading and sketching as well.I started a new book IF I STAY by Gayle Forman and I like it a lot so far.

After Sunset

This is the other little painting I was talking about yesterday.It took me less than two hours to finish it.Actually I am not sure how much time it took.It could be even less than an hour.When I am inspired I don't pay attention to the time,it passes by so fast.I used my own reference photo I took by lake Winona a couple or three weeks ago.My daughter,a friend of my ,her little guest Angie and I went to the lake park for a walk and I took a bunch of exciting pictures which I am going to turn in paintings.The weather was wonderful and the trees were revealing their most beautiful colors.

The size of the painting is 5x7 on canvas board.And again I used oil paints.
