Walked by here three times to the bridge in Happy Isles
of Yosemite Nat. Park in California, before I decided
I probably could tackle this view. With painting I’m a little kid,
excited for every painting that turned out well. For me, it’s not
how close I can come to reality, but to catch the mood
and ambience of the scene, or with my symbolic paintings,
if I am able to capture the meanings of the sumbols.
This little plein air is 12 x 16 inch in oil. .

My “walk” (drive) through the country side.
Forever addicted to the hills. So full of variety and adventure
Monday Walk

Field of Pinecones. During our walk in the park,
we found this leftover from last fall

Wordless Wednesday, Makro-Tex: yellow
Taken somewhere in the Netherlands.

Always wondered how to give these pods of flowers a name.
Now I found it.They’re pretty Blobs:)
One Word Sunday – Blobs

Not only in front and back, but also sideways
Timeless Thursdays, Weekend Reflections

First planning to delete the pole, but then, I thought,
it belongs in this landscape

The blob flowers are so colorful. I’m ready for some Summer color here, soon as I get some to plant. lol I’ve never planted perennials, and should have so each year I have to get annuals to plant. Getting older, and that’s becoming a chore though so it’s nice to enjoy those others share pictures of. Have a happy week.

I love your painting. You are so talented.
I love that you left the power pole in. I got the ability and software to remove them but rarely do.

Thank you Alan -. I mostly go to photoshop to remove telephone poles and lines, but it would give a skewed perception of the depth this landscape has in this case. I don’t need a compliment, but if they like my painting, that makes me happy:) Jesh

Great job on the painting, Jesh. I’m not sure the flowers qualify as blobs, but that’s okay because they’re so pretty. 🙂 I enjoyed all the shots. I saw some discussion about heat. It was 93 here today.
It would never have to be that hot for me but it is Arizona and the dryness makes it bearable. Anyway, I hope you’re going well. Have you considered visiting the Texas hill country? The wildflowers there are supposed to be amazing.

Wow, that’s hot. Changed to shorts today, because it’s in the 80ties. Am still in that stage where I don’t know where “things” (like wildflowers) are. But we’re progressing and jazzed that Hubs could fix the air conditioning this weekend! Last year we tried it out, but the noise was so overpowering loud that I could not live with it.Oh, am glad Arizona is dry. Humidity makes all the difference!

Dear Jo, since my archives have filled up to the computer’s max, I will be showing images from where I lived before, which is in Northern California. When you find the post “Fredericksburg” – that is 2 hours from where I live now:) Oh yeah, you still live in Europe, right – 2 hours is easy for a days trip. Our drive from North California to Austin, Texas was 26 hours drive!

Dearest Jesh,
Yes, April weather is constantly changing its face…
One thing I probably never ever get used to is the loud clashing colors of certain flower planting here in the USA. Versus to Western Europe where they work with one color or with matching colors in a different shade… Same for flower bouquets!
