September Sings

Mid-September already, and the days are swiftly passing, the warmth of summer fleeting, and the cooler days of autumn upon us even though summer has not officially ended.......Mornings are chilly and the tomato plants turning brown, their fruit dropping onto the ground still not fully ripened. Will the peppers change colour before the frost arrives?
In the gardens this week, the sedum is changing colour.

Black-eyed Susans dance on the breezes

this mini-rose hides behind the greenery

There are lovely aromas in the kitchen today......

two loaves of chocolate -date bread are cooling on the racks

and beside them sit 3 dozen--um, no, make that 2 1/2 dozen oatmeal-raisin cookis

I completed the September HEX LABS-- the Rangoli Shisha designed by Anita from StitchMAP.

This was fun to do, and I enjoyed playing with colours I don't usually use together.

The sequins used really catch the light.

 I've made a little progress on the painting. Here's how it looked last time.

adding more plants and intensifying some colours

deepening tones

adding more greenery by the lake

the first application of paint to create the water

more layers to be added

I hope you've had a creative week.





Thanks for visiting.
