Summer of Color Week3

I haven't had too many words to speak lately...

instead, I am reading Awakened by Angela Watson

and am reflecting on my teaching

this past year.

This morning,

I did what I have dreamed about doing

all winter:

I sat on my cool back porch

with my morning coffee.

I let summertime slip in.

I absorbed the beauty of the flowers

and the quiet

 of my favorite time of the day.

Now that's bliss.

This is inspired by Kristin's SOC4,

week three's colors of

gray & lavender,

with a POP of plum.

Thank you sweet Kristin!

Taking Some Quiet Time...

I just completed this school year.

 

More later...

Enjoy your weekend!

One More Week...

...til I get a break!

 I never want to wish time to go faster,

and

I love being an educator

(second grade is wonderful),

but this teacher is exhausted

and needs

more chillin

&'

Nani Time with Baby Andi!

 

This painted background is teal and coral with

some POPS of white

for Kristin's Summer of Color 2014

(SOC4) week #2...

but my teal looks too blue here.

My camera really doesn't do blue-greens very well,

and, I did take this photo toward evening...

oh well.

 Do check out Kristin's wonderful

Summer of Color

 and join in. 

The badge is up top!

Thank you for visiting!

Journaling with Aqua, Yellow, and a POP of Pink!

Participating in Kristin's

 4th year of Summer of Color,

SOC4! 

(You can join in using the badge on the top!)

This first challenge

is to create anything using

the two colors: aqua and yellow,

with a POP of hot pink!

Birds keep finding me

so I am going with it.

{I used Caran d' Ache

Neoart Aquarelle water-soluable wax Pastels

and some water on a paintbrush...

then an aqua fine point Sharpie pen for the writing.}

Thank you, Kristin!

Hello

Layers of gesso,

scrapings of paint, stampings of ink,

writing of thoughts...

...slowly done over the days

and into another week

as I push

through

the school year's end...

I am hopeful.

Hello to you!

I have been around a bit

but have missed you too.
