Hi there,
I hope you all had a good month!
Here in Canada, June with its puffy, free floating clouds, bluest of skies, and blossoms running riot everywhere you look is the best of months. And one truly longed for which makes it even sweeter. Actually, for me, June is like a poem or a song from nature, and to heap accolades on it, it's the best painting of all.
Peonies bloom.
Woodland Ferns grow large. And so much more, but I will move along for now.
On the making front, this month I tried eco-printing. I don't have a heat press, and a press would really enhance the colours. But, overall, it worked quite well using a regular iron and pressing everything between two sheets of Teflon. Another time, I will experiment with lighter weight paper, and, of course, a wider variety of flowers and leaves. And who knows I may brave it and boil everything up in an old pot on the stove. Dahlias would make a lovely print. I don't have any, but I may be able to 'borrow' a few.
Bunting also piqued my interest, so I decided to make one, drawing whatever comes to mind with gel pens on black paper. Approximately 12 more to go, although I may make it smaller and string it across my desk.
I left comments for everyone who visited last time. Thanks for your company!

Greens intensify. |
Container plants take off. |
Ivy trails. |
Peonies bloom.
Bees forage and buzz out arias.
Weeds show off.
Roses bloom and bushes too.
