I can't remember a summer less hot & more wet. Summer in the south is hot, humid & sticky but not this summer. Not complaining, like the cooler weather but a little less rain would be nice. But the flowers seem to have benefited.
I'm currently distracted painting abstracts. For years, I've been unable to "see" a path to paint in an abstracted manner. But evidently, my brain flipped the switch. No worries though, I'm still going to paint my impressionistic art. Just going to ride the abstract waves for a while.
