It's been a while since i visited my blog let alone painted and posted. I have been busy with Ruby( my new pup) and the garden. Finally had a moment to paint,trying to beat the HEAT!
The top one has a much gentler palette... not your usual kind. The lower one is more like it. However both have your trademark style and both are just amazing as usual.

They are both beautiful! I love the top one!
The top one has a much gentler palette... not your usual kind. The lower one is more like it. However both have your trademark style and both are just amazing as usual.
And well worth the wait Cathy! These are so lovely and uplifting! :0)
Cathy, I love the light and the translucent colors in the first one! And the second is your signature bright and bold style, fabulous!
Well.. you certainly got your beat back avoiding this heat! :)
They are both beautiful. I love all your work!
enjoy your pup cathy :) ..these are both fantastic ..looks like you used pastels in the bottom one .
I so love the 1st one.
1st one is a winner
I particularly like the first one for its translucent quality with lovely soft edges.

So good to see you! A new puppy sounds fun. What's s/he like?
The heat has been incredible. Today is beautiful though. I am afraid to look at the forecast ...
Both are beautiful. The bottom one is vibrant & bold as usual and the top one is transparent and much more pastel. Glad your back. This heat is awful.
