I painted this picture because it's an easy subject. During mid-summer, I was taking care of my Grandkids, and I had a lot of garden work, but the summer weather in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was 90-100 degrees for months!
10 x 8 inches, mixed media paper, watercolor, gouache, and Prisma pen.
I was exhausted from cooking, cleaning, outside yard and garden work, driving kids to summer school, and entertaining the kids.
I don't have to struggle with proportions, and I love painting dewdrops and ladybugs. I will be creating more of these fun paintings next summer.
The Grandkids are growing up fast and think Grandma is an old fuddy-duddy. What youth does not understand is there is nothing new under the sun. I've already been where they are going.
