I have smoothed out the transition from the green into brown and have my purples in place as well as a start with the reds. If you check back here you will see where I left off a couple days ago. I have more cutting to do before I can continue with the reds into browns.
My coneflowers are a much deeper pink this year now that they are in the sun all afternoon. I took this photo around 8 p.m. so the color isn't as deep as it is in the daytime.
The year is half over. If I was smart I would be starting on fall projects now. If the heat ever goes away I can start thinking about painting my living room. I don't like to paint with the windows closed and A/C on.
your color wash is looking great. I looked back and I do see the difference. I doubt I would have realized it could be better.
ReplyDeleteSuper transition....as always. This is going to be another beauty.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is pretty!
ReplyDeletethe color transition looks really good. I always thought purple cone-flowers and black eyed Susan's were flowers that with stood drought - not here - my cone-flowers are drying up and the grasshoppers have eaten a good portion of the Black eyed Susan s - maybe next year my flowers will be pretty like they were in the spring.

I love your flowers almost as much as your gorgeous quilts!
ReplyDeleteNo, I wouldn't want to paint in that situation either!
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying watching this quilt come together - thank you for sharing the process with us.
I love watching this quilt's progress. Your cone flowers are beautiful. I planted mine into a brighter spot and now they are doing fantastic. They really love the sun.
ReplyDeleteI love your cone flowers. I've given up on them, someone eats them...the deer, I'm supposing. Good idea not to paint in a closed up house. Plus, you can quilt more for now. :0)
ReplyDeleteThe colorwash is really getting there. It is so pretty. And no, I don't like to paint closed in with the odor either.
