Daisy
A golden evening, even though the rain won't stop falling. I quite like summer rain, though. It gives me an excuse to light candles (little paua shells are just right for tea lights, don't you think?) and dig out another painting from the summer holiday. This was kind of a shrubby daisy plant with pale lemon petals and slightly raggedy foliage.

My strawflowers don't like the rain though, they are closed up – almost like a shell.

Watching, reading and listening.

    I’m glad you’re seeing some rain – it’s so dry here in Melbourne. Pretty tea lights 🙂

    Today, it was winter in Nantes, of course but it was a wonderful sunny winter day, a perfect day to paint with spring colours.

    Even all closed up, the straw flowers look so bright and cheery!
    Just wanted to pop in and say hello, it’s been awhile since I’ve commented, but I’ve been enjoying all your summer posts, they make such a nice reprieve from all the winter that is happening here, and I wanted to let you know they are appreciated!
    Hope you are enjoying your break from your journalism classes. As always, enjoying your blog.
