How about that yellow of late summer? I love yellow, it's such a "feel good" color. Yesterday I was at my mom and dad's and took these pictures of her sunflowers and black-eyed Susans. I also took a few snaps of my mom's dog, Buddy........also known as "Buddy-the-Wonder-Dog"! He's an Australian cattle dog and loves to herd just about anything, despises birds, loves potato chips and hates anything that makes noise (he flips out when an electric mixer is turned on).
Check out his one gorgeous ice blue eye...........then there's the other one.....not so gorgeous!
Looking at these flowers, the dried out grass, the nip in the air at night and the bending golden rays of sunlight makes me think that we might just be going to have an early fall here in Western Pennsylvania. This makes me think of the amazingly talented folk artist I stumbled upon on Flickr. Her name is Catherine Holman and I love all of her folk art paintings but especially the autumn ones. There is such an honest simplicity yet extreme detail in her paintings. I want to climb into those paintings and live there! Also she has the most wonderful narratives which tell a little story about who lives in the houses.......it's like reading a Fanny Flagg book....so folksy! Please click on her name above and take a few minutes to view her wonderful folkart paintings.
