I  love painting with the color red in the summer.  IT reminds me of some of my favorite things, ripe strawberries, cherries, and tomatoes, the US flag, and red geraniums.    I hope to do more red paintings this month!

I made sweet rolls with the sourdough starter I have going.  They turned out great except that the brown sugar didn't caramelize.  It stayed course and if anything, got more crunchy.  Not sure why.  But anyway, they were still delicious.   I also painted the cut peonies you may have seen my previous post.  I love these peonies because of the tinge of pink on the white petals.  SO pretty.  Also, it's hard to capture the fuscia pinks in oil paint.  They have a transparent quality that glows and is really hard.  I worked with effort to get that punch of color without overpowering the whole painting.

Can you guess what I am painting today?
