Colours Chez Moi

From the glass globe in my planter

 
to the red purple of my clematis
 
 
and the bright yellow of sunflowers on my table
 
 
summer is all about colour, bright colours, subtle colours and
 
 
dreamy colours!
 
 
The Liatrus is always having a bad hair day, makes me smile.

 
Beautiful shy blues

 
bold bright purples and reds


and a bit of everything in my colourful garden ornament, with its rusty patina of age. 

 
Impossibly delicate
 
 
 



 
or bold 

 
the bees and butterflies are loving them all.

 
Good old summertime!
 
I have been thinking of flowers all week and painted an early summer favorite of mine. It is of course a lupin and a watercolour:
 
 
My photo has turned out a bit bluer than the image, I'll have to take another picture in the daylight.
 
Now speaking of water, I have to get the garden watered before it gets too dark, hope you are all enjoying your summer. Happy Wednesday, until next time,
 
Gillian
