A blond lady from long ago with a knowing confident stare stands in front of an old manor surrounded by hydrangeas. The flowers also decorate her flowing locks. This is an illustration made with Copic and Prismacolor Markers and watercolor pencils.

Summer greenery.
Because I am already missing it so badly.

A calm pond surrounded by plants and trees at the peek of summer. A small bridge makes for a very pretty corner.

A small path winds among lush vegetation leading to a panoramic terrace. Bright pink and purple flowers brighten the way. On the right, a giant ceramic vase sits prettily among the plants.

The little but oh so pretty waterfall of the ‘Oheo’ s pool in #Maui.
Enjoy the view!

A green natural pool in the forest of Maui. A small silver waterfall feeds it. Rock bluffs and verdant tropical plants frame the pond. A corner of paradise on earth.

Stormy blue sky over Lake Michigan in #DoorCounty.

Immense dark clouds move threateningly from the west obscuring the summer sky. A sudden thunderstorm to break a heat wave.

Memories of Halloween.
No ghouls, just a calm sunset to share with friends while the kids hunted candies.

A field with great grass cut short and golden leaves in small piles around lovely trees that frame the image. In the background, a pale mist diffuses the light of the setting sun. The sky is the most delicate pastel cerulean with elegant pink and orange clouds. The whole scene resembles an oil painting from another era.

The photo is not great, but the #facade of this marvelous Venetian Palazzo (Barbarigo) makes it worth posting, don’t you think?
