Colors, Summer is so much about Colors


i love working with color

for over a quarter of a century my business was making beaded jewelry
with tiny little seed beads
it allowed me the gift of being a stay at home mom

that was so much about playing with colors
shopping for the beads was so much fun

Maple trees have their winged seeds on now:


such beautiful colors as they dance in the breeze
drenched in sunlight

  7. Bonjour chère amie,

    J'aime la grâce de cette jeune femme à la longue tresse. Tout en délicatesse, comme toutes vos aquarelles.
    Superbe photo avec les grappes de graines des érables. Chez moi on leur donne le surnom "d'hélicoptère".

    Gros bisous ♡

  8. Dear Tammie - In my impression, your choice of colors in the painting is mellow like spring. Perhaps the colors of summer at the higher altitude would be softer. In my part of the world, vivid colors pop up in summer. The helicopter seeds of maple trees are so lovely both in shape and color.

  10. You Do have that color palette down pat! Yes, those are exactly the colors of summer -- whether photographed or painted!

  11. Your painting has such stunning colour combinations, so soft and yet quite strong colours. I like how you have linked the colours of the maple seeds, the lime and dusty orange, and the way the girl is framed against the turquoise diamond.
    I know what you mean about choosing beads, the shapes and colours are seductive.

  12. I like how your work always have such harmonious colors, like piece too, lovely combination of colors, I actually thought the title was 'coral'instead of color.

    hope you have a lovely summer

  14. She has a spiritual cross-jewelry! It's made by a woman in the forest, finding secret seeds.

    It's So wonderful for a mother to stay at home with the children and producing art!
