Hollyhocks

Inspired by the hollyhocks...



The first is stitched on gently dyed muslin.

The second is a Sharpie line drawing.

Hollyhocks originated in China and were cultivated to symbolize the passage of time.

Saturday Meanderings

Twenty some years ago I visited Portugal and watched the sun set on the Atlantic Ocean. I remember seeing the little fishing boats come in and the women waiting for their men to return from fishing. I've been waiting...

My sweetie returned today from a week fishing in AK with his brothers. Yahoo happy day. He had a great time, caught LOTS of Halibut and is home now! Here is a picture of him (in the brown) and his brothers…

I think that is a little boat to brave the big ocean in!

And... to the girlie stuff... My holly-hocks have all been pinks - white, light pink and darker pink. Look what came up this year! Isn't it a beauty - dark dark burgundy!

Happy Weekend to all. I sure am having one!

Thread sketch

Just experimenting with sketching a rocky creek in thread and adding watercolor.

Consider...

I keep checking if "lilies" has one or two l's...

you know how I can skip letters and words and entire sentences!

Is there a heat wave everywhere right now?

I kind of LOVE it... and kind of don't. I ride my motorcycle to and from work and FEEL THE HEAT! Heat comes in the wind, it comes off the engine, and it comes off the pavement. I have to tell my self it is a relaxing sauna.

Smiles to all!
