Beautiful GRAYs...Summer Days...

 yes, another angel...
 
 
 or she COULD be a fairy ;)...
 
 
 her words
 
 
 the rest of her words...
boo hoo, I spelled results wrong...
back to the drawing board..
ughh...
this will be yet another test of
MAGICALLY MATCHING COLORS!
 
 
 
 
 this is a close up of a finished piece I shared with you all previously...
when I get it matted and framed, i'll share the results!
 
 
 
I have been so enamored with "grays"...
as is this one on a plank, I have been working on for days
and days...and will show it's ending as well!
 
more HAPPY summer DAYS/DAZE MY FRIENDS,
wanda
XOXO

 a right side close-up,
i forgot to take this pic in it's entirety!
 this will be a first time the public will see this piece,
that i have shown you recently ;)
 up close quote...
and another...
At the last Auburn Art Walk, 2 months ago, the art tribe forgot to put my name and work on the map and where i would be...and we were made a make-shift sign etc...
so Placer Arts honored me and the store owner with another show, whoo hoo!
Shawna, the store owner hung all new work for me.
we are going to have wine and snacks and have another great evening of fun and friends. i used to hate these shows because i am kind of shy, but now my family and friends continue to surprise me and show up...so it's FUN!
oh how i wish some of my online buddies could be there too! such wondrous souls you are!
This Thursday night from 6-9, just in case you are in northern California ;)
HAPPY SUMMER DAZE/DAYS MY FRIENDS!

it's still SUMMERTIME!

 just before leaving on my little excursion to be with my sisters...
 
 I took about 100 of these, just mesmerized by this beauty and the way she flitted around the plants and myself ;)
 
 
 
 
 and then i told you how we have hidden the beans,
climbing on the sunflowers, from the deer...
 well...it's been GRAND luck..we have harvest LOTS of these
LONG HEIRLOOM green beans and flash frozen them, yum!
 their flowers smell just like sweet peas...i never knew that!
 
 
 
 
 this is Candy...YES we LAUGHED...
 AND read menu's...this is Cookie...
 she barbequed for us on their back patio in Seal Beach,
many an evening ;)
 
 
 
 
 we were heading for a night of music where Candy's son, my nephew was playing...
we had to stay in a motel rather than camp...this is Diane our mutual SISTER/FRIEND...
 WE tried to keep the luggage cart LIGHT, ha, trading, hauling, figuring out...
what to take to the venue and what to leave behind...not so LIGHT...;)
 
 
 
 
 one morning, i found my toothbrush in hardened wax as a candle burned down through the evening...no harm done and yes, laughter once again!
 
 
 
 
 we swam here during the day and then after
MIDNIGHT on several evenings...
so magical to us, looking at the stars, floating on our backs,
hearing the ships come in and far away laughter...
perfect summer nights to remember FOREVER!
 
 
 
 
 welllll...lookie here...
 
 i began an abstract as soon as i returned home.
the real colors were in between these two...
 and then it morphed into this as i freely (oh yes, there were some struggles) and intuitively (mostly) painted and glued and scraped away...
 and away...finding depths...
 and fun subterfuge...
isn't it just absolutely MYSTERIOUS...
i am in love where it is headed and
promise to share when completed.
 
the next Art Walk will be in 10 days...
the pressure is on...the beautiful pressure that i tend to work well with!
 
HAPPY MORE SUMMER DAYS MY FRIENDS!!!
