I mentioned in my last post that I had been painting, that continues - onto a blue and gray living room and hallway. That's how it works with stuff around the house, isn't it? Once you paint one room, you realize the next room looks bad, and then there's that project you've been putting off...

After seeing to some more storage in the kitchen on Friday, I ventured into the garden today. I removed four small bushes, trimmed several large holly bushes (which grow far too fast and too large for my liking), and planted four more azaleas in place of the bushes.

Once I get all these rooms painted I should have an open studio, then you can see it all. :-)

This week I was casting around for something to draw. I finally hit upon these azalea blooms - my reference was taken in spring on one of my photography mornings. Interestingly, the azaleas in my front yard have a few blooms right now - seems out of season, but they look lovely.

The weather has been cooler the last few days, I think I better gear up for some fall foliage photography mornings!
