The sketchbook project 2011

Even though I have plenty to fill my limited time with, I’ve signed up for The Sketchbook Project 2011, an exiting idea from the Art House Co-op and the Brooklyn Library. I had a hard time choosing a theme, so I let the Project do it for me. And, living in a city with around 256 rainy days a year, I find it amusing to get the theme: A record year of rainfall! My plan just now is to explore all the grey hues of rainy weather. I haven’t got my moleskin notebook yet, guess it will take a few weeks to reach me across the ocean. I will try to show images of my sketchbook here in my blog.

Summertime and morning-guest in our back-yard

At last, we have summer. May and June have been rather cold. My plants don’t mind, they are used to it, but I would prefer it to be a little warmer. But the last two days, have been wonderful with temperature around 19 degrees. Yesterday we woke up finding a guest in our back yard. A young red dear was grazing and not minding us as long as we stayed indoors:

And just now my favorite flower is at its best. This Meconopsis betonicifolia I’ve raised from seed, and every year in May-June, it shines with its incredible blue colour.
