Sweet And Juicy, Peach Season In Texas, By Leada Wood, Texas Artist




"Sweet And Juicy" Copyright 2015 Leada Wood


Our showers of blessings in the form of rain has made Texas come alive with blooms of gorgeous wildflowers, fruits, gardens and of course weeds and mosquitoes! It has been a refreshing spring and summer has arrived! It lifts the spirits to see dry creeks run and lakes filling up...hope it keeps raining until they are all full. Eleven years of drought conditions begins to wear on you after a while. So nice to see everything green instead of brown and cracked. I have noticed more cows grazing in the tall, lush green grasses of the prairies, so happy they have plenty to eat. Feeling grateful and blessed!

The rain has brought on bumper crops of apricots, peaches and pears if they can just hang on through the high winds of the rainstorms. Our June peaches have already been picked, shared, eaten and placed in the freezer. I used one for a model and then ate it...delicious and juicy...yum...life is good.

Hope sweet things are in abundance in your life this summer.

Happy 2015 ! I am starting this new year with Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. This is my third time to participate. It is always an exciting event and stretches me to paint every day. I learned in the first challenge that painting small is the way to go. I hope you follow along and don't mind my post everyday as that is another challenge in itself! Thanks for dropping by!

Autumn is all about the harvest...a time to slow down...to reflect...a time of changes. I love Autumn! The cool crisp air in the mornings, the leaves turning vibrant oranges, yellows, and reds. Pumpkins and gourds appear at the local market, and if you are very fortunate you live close to where they have apple orchards and pumpkin patches and can go there and enjoy the fruits of the harvest. My mom always had pears in the autumn and we were blessed to get her pear preserves that she made.  I still love pears, I especially like to paint them!
This is for Inspiration Avenues weekly challenge, Autumn.
