Landscapes and Greeting Cards

 September 8, 2020

 Hi there,


  Mostly a picture post today.  But I will say that the new Blogger interface makes it much easier to move pictures around. And I like the visible comment section that shows in the preview. A definite must!

A few red leaves. It's happening slowly.


                                 I love ponds; they are always so peaceful. I sat on the bank and
                                           watched the fish jump in this pond for awhile. 
                            



                                                  Asters, Goldenrod, and Queen Anne's Lace.



                                              "I've looked at clouds from both sides now."
                                                                        Joni Mitchell





Print making on the go. I am making cards in both a gloss and matte finish.  Just now, I only have a few of the wildflower cards with a matte finish, but more matte cards are on the way.



Original Pastels ~ Taiga/Snow Forest. Better known as the Boreal Forest
and Autumn’s Glory.

After the storm. 

This wonderous double rainbow arched the whole way across the sky. I feel very lucky to have seen such awe inspiring beauty.

  3. Autumn is beginning the begin at your place, isn't it; just lovely. I too can sit by a pond for ages and just look and dream. Cards made out of your beautiful artwork/print are a fabulous idea, Dixie. So enjoyed visiting your peaceful and tranquil place this morning.
