Posting this Red Trillium even tho’ it’s not in my garden. Taken during a plein air painting session just outside Aylmer Ontario.
Red Trillium is a spring ephemeral plant whose life-cycle is synchronized with that of the forests in which it lives.

This is the start of 'My Garden' posts for the past summer. It was a long cold spring which I hope translates to a long warm fall.
April 28th 2025: First tulips to flower - I plan to plant more tulips this year.
I hope to see other gardeners' 2025 garden pics.

It’s rare that an animal retains its beauty in death.
Not sure of the cause - not window strike or bird hawk.
Not likely bird flu - no other dead birds found all summer.
Perhaps Mourning Doves (Zenaida macroura) are beautiful even in old age and it simply succumbed to being old.

As artists we should have a good understanding of colour; where it is sourced from, its abundance or rarity in nature etc. etc.
Here is an Perplexity Page I created that discusses, in-depth, blue and purple as colours that are rarely produced by nature.

My sense, or instinct, is that ‘art’ is so ingrained in humanity’s collective unconscious as a positive force that we have and always will invest intellectual and physical resources to ensure its safety and ongoing existence as a human artifact. Here’s one example:

I repaired an interior wall using flat rocks.
That offered a chance to try D.S. watercolour grounds on a bare rock surface and when dry paint the grounds with watercolour black.
When the watercolour dried I sealed it with Dorland wax.
Worked IMO. Up next some good sized flat rock paintings :-)
