Where'd the summer go?

We made several short trips around Oregon this summer.  Here is one of them to Fort Stevens State Park on the extreme Northwest tip of Oregon where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean.

And a walk on the beach . . .

And as this was a grey day in May, it probably still looks this way in this early Autumn season, as Summer is now gone.  Speaking of  that, I am having a Summer Clearance sale in one of my shops.  Many of my older items must be gone to make way for my new "little house" items!  (See upcoming Monday and Tuesday's posts!)

Watercolor, my nighttime therapy . . .

June has been a rough month.  Consequently, my creativity has been waning.  So yesterday, I tried something new--at least new to my routine.  I went back to my art--watercolor!  Was inspired by our recent trip to the beach and attempted a painting.  I left it to dry over night . . . .

Then . . . I couldn't sleep at 4 am this morning, so I finished it.

Now I need to get it framed . . . . and I feel better!!!!
