Good morning friends.
It is summer. It is REALLY summer in Florida.
Like many of you, we are sweltering in hot, humid heat.
We have had over a foot of rain in the last two weeks.
When it is like this, I turn into a slug.
I can only stay in one spot and that means reading is just about all I do.
I did have a day of making gellie prints...hundreds of them I think.
I was outside on the lanai and I think my sweat made additional texture to the prints.
So now I have to collage.
This was a "failed" abstract so I covered it with off white paint and started over.
I was quite happy with it and my husband asked why my palm tree was brown.
It does look like a sunflower, doesn't it?
Wishing all a Happy Paint Party Friday!
A tiny little dendrobium bloom appeared this week

Susan it's funny how weather affects us. I never get hot here so I would love to have hot sunny days with no wind. LOL I do love your art this week. Your abstract is alive. I would love to go to a class with you. Maybe the next time I visit my son in FL we could meet up.
The weather is rather crazy here, too, much too hot! Love your sun-flower-palm! Beautiful orchid, too. Keep cool, hugs, Valerie
Crazy weather here in VA too, Susan. Husbands are not the best to show art to, at least mine wasn't. Sometimes I wouldn't even let him see what I was working on. He was all engineer and not a bit artist. He wanted things looking photorealistic. I have that flower. I bought it last summer, kept it alive inside all winter, and have it outside now with the first buds beginning to open.
I can only imagine what it must feel like in Florida during the summer. I love the heat but not so much the humidity. Good for you to get a fresh stack of prints made! I need to do that as I am running out. And your sunflower is really pretty-yes, a sunflower for sure. Happy PPF!
hahaha, I've known that feeling of turning into a slug this past week here in Belgium. I'm a big sun-lover, but even for me it was a bit too much this week. I like your collage, didn't see a palm tree in it but a flower. Could be a sunflower yes :-) Hope it cools down a bit ...
Beautiful collage! Stay cool!
What a fabulous collage! Happy PPF :)
I think your collage is lovely - and the background too. Yes, even in the smaller thumbprint before going into your blog, I saw a sunflower 😊
I don't care for humidity either!
Your gorgeous bloom is delightful. Cheers and Happy PPF!
Sorry to hear that you are sufferring with heat. We have here too in the UK But I imagine that you would think it still cool compared to your temperatures. Gelli printing outside sounds a lovely way to spend a hot day and I love what you did with the prints.
Love the geometric feel to the flower. :)
Beautiful..stunning art! I love it..abstract and yet whimsical..a very wonderful energy!
Happy PPF

I love your sunflower and recognized it right away. Beautiful flower too. We have heat the past two weeks but now we have a week of 70's in the forecast and I'm looking forward to lots of outdoor time :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog ♥
I hear you about the humidity. I live in Houston Tx and though we have had it much dryer than Florida, we are getting our typical humidity for the summer. Yes, your collage looks like a flower. Men have their own ways of seeing things it seems.
Oh I hear you about the heat!! Not a fan of it myself!! Just started here today!! Love your abstract, it's fun and unique!! Yes definitely a beautiful flower!!
Hugs Giggles
Of course your beautiful card looks like a sunflower! Love hearing how hot Florida is...we're building a winter home there and going down later this week. I love getting my Gelli on but don't do it as often as I'd like. Stay cool!
Lovely sunflower! and it definately does not look as a palm!
It looks like a lovely sunflower to me!
