Dear Everyone:

Puttered around Peggy's Cove

on a recent outing. Took shots

in the village and in surrounding areas.

Ate at the restaurant. Bagels and cream cheese

and lox. Delicious. Visited a fine art

gallery-Jo Beale Gallery and chatted

with Jo and viewed her new work and that

of other artists she carries. Very

Beautiful. Stunning even. Visited a gift shop

and sat on the deck of the cafe of

this shop- Beale's Bailiwick.

Had a relaxed and contemplative moment

sipping coffee.

These 4 shots are from this deck.

Enjoy.

Helen.

Petunia study II 2010

Petuniastudy#22010

Dear Everyone:

This is the first in my series

of folk art paintings of the

unusual petunia I detailed

in the previous blog posting.

I had never seen the colour

combination of lime green and

fuchsia of these flowers before.

The painting insisted

that I use greens for the

background.

The image is rather stylized

which is typical of my work.

Enjoy.

Helen.

Petunia Study I 2010

Dear Everyone:

Spotted this striking type of

petunia at a private home.

Returned the following day to

photograph it with the permission

of the owner.

May do some paintings of

these flowers, as well.

The colour combination,

lime green and fuchsia, is so unusual

Dear Everyone:

Some further shots from downtown.

I am really enjoying these urban images

and might try to shoot downtown once

a week or so.

I enjoy seeing urban fashion, grafitti

and murals, house facades, and windows.

Architecture. Religious observances.

Just a collection of images relating

to the Something Blue theme.

The Queen's Annes lace

are lacy like wedding finery.
"Something old. Something new.

Something borrowed. Something blue".

Enjoy.

Daylily Study VI 2010

Daylilystudy#62010

Dear Everyone:

A red daylily is the last entry of my

series of daylilies.

This image really pleases me.

I like the complexity of the 3 blooms

and I find the colour combination

to be very interesting-sort

of like 1950's or Florida colours.

To be truthful I am uncertain

how the colour selection presented

itself to me -it just did. It just arrived.

Hope that you enjoy this image.

As summer winds down so will

the daylilies.

Helen.
