Quint here, outside enjoying the bright pop of our garden’s last summer flowers. These are the ones that inspired me to paint with hot red, orange and yellow colors. Mom says my art shop has three Festive Summer watercolor paintings and a single canvas one left for sale if you are interested. All are limited edition, one of a kind paintings, not prints, and when they’re gone, they’re gone!

But you know how much I love purple-y flowers too. I was so happy to see these getting ready to bloom for the second time this year! Mom says the hummingbirds love these tubular flowers when open. I bet they don’t love them as much as I love painting!

Anywho, I’ve got two Purple/Blue Garden Inspired watercolors and a single canvas of the same left at my shop. It still might be hot where you are (or maybe you’re cold and looking forward to summer!) but my summer’s winding down. Before long, I’ll be inspired to paint again by nature’s new palette – Autumn colors!

PeeEss: Thanks, Dad, for walking with me in the garden!

Secret Stripes Part Tuxie.

Tessa, is she Tuxie or is she Tabby? Can she be both? Or is that just asking for trouble? Danger Cat Tessa, with the flick of her tail and a backward glance, says the proof’s in the pictures.

Yoga Position One – Look over your left shoulder. Picture someone thinking they are sneaking up on you. You see them. They see you seeing them. You hold the position for as long as it takes them to slink away.

Yoga Position Two – Claw Stretch. Imagine someone telling you to stretch that arm to air out your armpit. Now extend those claws and re-enact snagging the one who would dare imply you had armpits that needed airing out.

Yoga Position Three – The Belly Stretch You’ll Feel in your Ears. If your ears look normal, you’re doing it wrong.

Yoga Position Four – Flip and Ponder. After that big stretch, rapidly flip yourself over and exhale. Relax. Take in the comfort of the fleece-y blanket beneath you. Allow your eyes to gaze upward as you ponder life and your place in this big, beautiful world. Napping here is allowed. You’ve earned it!
