Flowers and Fishermen

Sometimes I just feel like painting on silk....well, not painting with paint, but painting with dye. I don't know what the deal is, there are times when I just abhor it, and then other times it gives me such pleasure. So here is the crepe de chine scarf I did the other day:

It was a lot of fun, and C agreed that it was the best job I have done so far.

I'm having a great time with my new camera. C and my Mom were in cahoots on this deal. He bought me the camera for Mother's Day and then she bought me a telephoto lens for my birthday! WooHoo. Of course, there hasn't been much to see on the lake since the lens arrived yesterday, but hopefully I've got a little more time!! I did take this pic of my clematis:

Kristin gave me two clematis vines for Mother's Day several years ago, and they are just blooming their little heads off this year. I love them so!!

Here's some detail of the scarf that I "painted" yesterday:

There's a new shop in our little town and the shopowner wants to feature work by members of our local art league. So I brought her a few scarves today. She has a lovely wrought iron thingy that is very smooth, and she got it just for my scarves!!! So, I really had to bring some in for her, don't you think? I hope she does well, because her shop is cute and she is very nice.

And now for my last photo of the day:

I saw this young man (actually I didn't know if he was young or old, male or female at the time) out fishing on the lake and thought I'd get his pic with the telephoto. It wasn't until I put the photo on the computer that I realized he had a doggie on board!

PEACE!!
