Currently working on bird and floral watercolor paintings and some North American birds like this red tailed hawk.
I did something different by adding some painted details to the side of the panel.
The painting is available here:
I made lace jelly this week after picking the Queen Anne's Lace at my parent's farm in Wisconsin.
It's really fun to make foraged wildflower jellies. Just be very positive in identifying Queen Anne's Lace because it can be mistaken for Poison Hemlock, which is fatally poisonous. There are many sources to help one identify the safe Queen Anne's Lace plant.
I got the jars at Walmart and they are cute little jars with a jewel-cut textured side. I plan to give some away this fall or for Christmas gifts.
A highlight of summer is the local farmers' market. I always love a good farmers' market.
Being in the Midwest, summer brings a bounty of fruits and vegetables as well as local meats, cheeses, handmade breads and soaps.
Loving these handmade natural soaps.
Jake's Meats from Michigan is where I stock up on Great Lakes wild caught fish and pork, chickens and more.
