This post has three paintings I did after putting away my phone. They were painted over about 10 days as the flowers changed.

A Sabbath 5-mile walk on the Hartslock slopes.
I have not written for a while but I have appreciated the time out.

Sedum, sunflowers and others
What are the others? Calendulas in flower, in seed, and in buds, foxgloves but only their seed cases. Then these sunflowers need an explanation. I grew single-stem sunflowers but they grew side flowers and these are in the vase. It is quite normal for this to happen. They may have been cross-pollinated with a branchingContinue reading “Sedum, sunflowers and others”

First, hear a question Jesus asked ‘His enemies’ to show He loved them. Before the question. Here is the setting: Four ‘ thinking’ strong friends.
