More Summer Textures

These wild flowers  
 Queen Anne's lace and day lilies 
seemed a perfect opportunity 
to explore colour contrast 
and airy textures.

Summer Textures - Watercolour/ Mixed Media

As July becomes August 
the intense summer light has peaked.
Around the edges of tree tops and bushes
 the lush foliage is beginning to
 to fade and curl back .
Hints of rich autumn colour contrast 
with the spare branches of old growth trees.
