Ah, the liquid sunshine of the Pacific Northwest gets a lot of people down, but I love it! Plus, it keeps me out of the garden (mostly) and in the studio.

I continue to work on my rhino, but he's starting to look beleaguered so he's getting shelved for awhile along with the lion and giraffe....hopefully in a month or so I'll have a fresh perspective and will figure out how I'm going to go forward with these pieces.

The commission of 'butterflies and bamboo' has been finished, and now I'm going to start a series of bird paintings...something I've been wanting to do for some time, and continue dabbling in a few landscapes. Have a happy Summer Solstice!
