Summer is in its full glory in my garden at the moment. Unfortunately it is so hot that it is hard to really enjoy it. Luckily I can still paint in my air conditioned studio and enjoy the colors and textures at a remove from the actual garden, which is steaming and full of insects who are out for blood.
Nature is beautiful and treacherous. The human race has gone overboard to surpress and control nature for our own pleasure and safety. We do whatever we can to change things to suit ourselves without suffient reflection about what the chain reaction of these changes will mean to ourselves and other creatures in the long run. As a result there is very often not a 'long run' for many species and it may be our own survival will go the way of so many other forms of life.
In the meantime we have art and music to feed our spirit when nature is too harsh and we want to sit back and pretend all is well.

Another beautiful painting, and another slice of your ever present wisdom in the ways of the world, Nancy. Happily, your art is out there for us to appreciate when we do that sitting back and enjoying the moment stuff.
Thanks Bill. I enjoy a leisurely stroll through your blog posts as well. What an interesting new way to communicate!
