In May, we start packing up our car and heading to the lake on the weekends. I thought you might enjoy seeing some of our views from our drive to the lake – in an abstract way!
In the Spring, the wild Lupines grow in the meadows in shades of blue and purple:
As the days get longer and summer arrives, so do fields of daisies and purple wild flowers:
In the fall, the cattails appear growing in a marsh area next to the highway:
I hope you enjoyed the drive! I’d like to explore these small abstracts in greater detail. These were done on 6 x 4.5 inch hot press watercolor paper with Neocolor water-soluble crayons.
Happy Exploring! 🙂
Lovely very nice Jill! 😉

I’m looking forward to more of your abstracts from the lake.

Thank you Deborah – Yes, I hope to create more of these! It is much more fun for me than painting realistically. 🙂

Thanks Hannah! I appreciate the nomination and I enjoyed reading your responses to the questions. I will think about participating. BTW, I love my fitbit too! 🙂

No worries if you decide not to do it. I was chuffed just to get nominated but it took me over a month to do anything else with it! I would be totally lost without my fitbit – there is no reason to move without it!
