Summer! Wow summer arrived right on time! I am in love all over again with these cool early mornings. Especially on a day you know will grow into a one of those hot steamy ones that can only end with thunder and lightening.

Yesterday I happened upon some day lilies. With this iPhone polaroid app I get some cool effects. Like the blue in the shadows. The lilies are a mish mash of shape and colors! Can't wait to play and paint with them!

Even with their bursting and bubbling of color and form there exists within the images a subtlety. A kind of ephemeral understanding of their short life span. And within their shapes are a primordial pattern of manifestation which we all feel. What person doesn't know the bloom?

The idea that they arrive in their glorious color from the vast unmanifest realm that we arrived from gives me comfort and joy.
