Summer of Color... Week One...

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap...
but by the seeds you plant...
.....Robert Louis Stevenson

Well... the second fabulous 'Summer of Color' has begun...
and the lovely Kristin has chosen 'Rainbow Sherbet'
as the scrumptious ice cream colors to be inspired by in week one...

Oranges, Pinks, Yellows with a touch of White..
a yummy mix that is both delicious and  happy...
and so...
 this pink haired lady is the one that came to play...
she is a combination of water color and pencil..
with a halo of textured yellow acrylic behind her...

'Shine' seemed appropriate...
shining her light out into the world...
and even though we are in the beginnings of winter here in Australia...
the sun shone brightly for most of the day...
yipee!!

Hope everyone is having a delicious rainbow sherbet kind of day :))
Hugs
Jenny x
