The dining room table is my desk/art table. Once a week I clear it off and wipe it down, but mostly it’s covered with assorted books, art supplies, bags, hats, sewing tools and other random detritus. This is a small subset of what’s in front of me.
I wasn’t the only one enjoying the strawberry trees in the library garden. The birds, bees and butterflies were hanging out with me.
Spotted on my neighbourhood walk this morning.
It’s been a while since I played with collage/mixed media. Always fun.
I’m beyond lucky to have this as my daily view.
I somehow managed to make the silver dollar jade look like a bunch of lollies bursting out of their paper bag. PARTY!!!
We have these two ficus trees growing in pots under the arbor. They’re old — I’ve lived here ten years and they were probably here for at least ten years before that. Apparently they prefer sunny conditions but they’re doing fine in full shade. Tough old buggers.
Working on my trees. I had a huge aha when I heard Liz Steel say she uses Yellow Ochre as the yellow in her mixed greens for foliage. Giving it a go.
The native bush sunflowers (Encelia californica) are just about done for the year. The invasive fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum) is still going strong 😩
Four mile hike with V at Topanga — the wildflowers are changing week by week.
