June has been rainy and cool here in southeastern PA, and the peonies are sadly gone, although I have about 4 new paintings of them. My antique roses are now in full bloom and I’m still picking strawberries on a daily basis. The corn is 8″ high and my transplanted tomatoes are looking healthy and sturdy, thanks to the daily dosing of fish emulsion when they were babies. I hear heavy raindrops beginning again.<\/p>\n

For some great tips on working with beneficial creatures and attracting them to your garden, see my notes on Maysie’s blog<\/a> from our Mike McGrath<\/a> seminar this week at Camphill Kimberton<\/a>. He agreed that my swath of meadow is great for birds and bees so I’ve kept a part of it in the backyard. I notice more and more birds in my yard each spring, so I must be doing something right!<\/p>\n

I don’t usually paint flowers, but was once more inspired by the blowsy, seductive peonies in early spring. All of the following paintings can be found both at 1000 Markets<\/a> and my Etsy shop<\/a>, except for the one immediately below, which has sold.\u00c2\u00a0I’m currently featured on two blogs for my YART sale promotion on Etsy, running through this weekend. The Seasonal Cottage<\/a> has a nice feature up, and RavenX<\/a> has been promoting Etsians since the sale began this past thursday.<\/p>\n
