Clouds and more Clouds

Are we remembering it's the 'dry' season?

Dark and Darker clouds.

 First 2 pictures are Church clouds.

 You can actually see where the sun tried to kick her covers off.

 . . but you can also see the darkness of the clouds.

It did rain once I arrived home before getting groceries out of trunk.

 There are sometimes white clouds and blue sky, but be quick about looking for it.

Every single thing that has happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.

No Sunshine. . . Art instead.

OK, the sun didn't get up today. . . therefore no pictures.  However, I thought I would put up my bluebird I completed for this week's art over on Paint Party Friday.  I used a stencil (which I rarely do) with pan pastels.  That is a lovely choice of pastels to work with. I still work with soft and hard pastels (being my favorite medium).  I am learning water color, whew, that's a task, but I will learn it.

Today is housework, washing and reading.

Blessings,
Janet
Everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.

Library. . .Good Grief. . . . Sunshine!!!!

As a new Watercolor painter, I wanted a picture of the mix of colors in the trees.

The Library sign can also be seen.

 A messier but wider shot of all the colors.

 What do you suppose that bright light is in the sky?

You know, I had to take a picture of it, no one would believe it.

Blessings,
Janet
