Patrice Pastel: Endless Summer

A Still Life

I remember my art teacher when I was 12 years old who taught me the principles of creating a still life drawing or painting. I learned that in art I could capture time and not let it pass, but keep it as a secret keepsake in this treasure chest of life. Thank you to My First Love; My Lord and Savior. For it is He who gives and creates, teaching us through this journey. I am forever grateful to see His extraordinary glory in every ordinary moment.

"...be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth" Psalm 46:10

Oneida Lake Late Summer Love

It may be September, but the lure of a breezy,balmy, late Summer beach memory is made for a 6 year old. There is no better way to clear out one's mind of cluttering thoughts than the rushing sound of sunlit waves upon the sand with my loves.

August Sunflowers

Reaching for the sun, these small but tall beauties announce that Summer can be endless. Not rain nor drought seems to cancel their late Summer sun dance. Faithful no matter what late August brings ~ tends to be their message. Some days I feel kind of knocked down by the winds. These golden faces seem to say just get up again for the season always passes. You can count on it.

Summer Perennial Phlox

Hard to say goodbye for the Summer to this beauty. Its fragrance brings me back to lazy Summer play days running by beautifully kept gardens on the banks of every home. The perfume permeates the air and I once again feel 5 at my grandmother's house on a hill that I was lucky to call my first childhood home.
