AUGUST

I love the sense of summer’s slowing down as we enter August. The trees are dark and still, acorn and berry-rich. Along the riverbank, the hemlock is burnt brown where blackberries sprawl, ripening. Insects flutter drowsily, and the water barely moves, lazy and low.

My painting sale continues over in my Gallery and Shop with new pieces being added daily. It feels good to clear the decks, freshening up ahead of September when I always feel my energy renewing and the urge to paint new work after the summer’s lethargy.

Also newly arrived are my 2026 calendars, beautifully printed by John Austin Publishing. Grab one for yourself and some for gifting to friends and family now.
