A gouache painting a did for my husband's aunt recently.
We made it to Greece! We currently live in an empty house, bar a bed and a kitchen table (we expect our things from the US to arrive by boat in a few weeks). We're running from government service to another to get set up with our papers and legalities. We can't wait to be able to relax soon... The view is great from our new home. We can see both the Ionian sea and the Amvrakikos national park.
It was surprisingly hard to get used to being able to grow vegetables and fruit all year round in our corner of #California, but we are making progress.
I painted this picture some time ago in a small course at my friend's workshop. At that time she was a budding art therapist who loved to try out things together with us. We mixed the colours from pigments and binders. The task was to paint the background first and then create something from it. It was a lot of fun! 🍊
This #abstract#artprint of beautiful #oranges would really brighten up a dull #kitchen and give your eyes a dose of vitamin see everyday! ⬅see what I did there?
Good morning fr #Pasadena. A slower day today hopefully. Garden is all watered so I will try to finish my fence plans/quote today so I can discuss it with my neighbor this weekend.
Yesterday, I decided to try the #oranges from what I call my OJ tree which grows the juiciest, seeded, very low-pulp oranges. Still very tart, but nonetheless delicious. Each orange yields 1/2 cup atm. It’s still very early for that tree. All my other varieties are still green because we haven’t had a lot of cold yet. Most oranges should be ripe within 2 months but my OJ variety can sometime make me wait several more months for the sweetest juice.
The weekend is also here so I’m wishing everyone a great 2 days off. And if you’re in Canada/US don’t forget to switch back to #DST at 2am Sunday!! 🙄
