How Did it Get So Late So Soon?

Linked to Paint Party Friday. Thanks to Eve and Kristin for hosting.

It is hard to believe that it is September already! At this time of the year, I am always reminded of Dr. Suess's quote:

"How did it get so late so soon? It's night before it's noon. December is here before it's  June. My goodness how time has flewn. How did it get so late so soon?"

Couple of days ago, I reopened my Etsy shop after closing it for a month. I took this time to not only create new art but also to make them into prints to sell at my Etsy shop. The prints are done using Epson's ultrachrome pigments and Radiant white watercolor paper. I am very pleased with the quality of the prints. Here are a few samples.

Below are some photos of the Passaic river that flows nearby. The 80 miles (130 km) long river meanders through northern New Jersey before emptying into Newark Bay harbor. The originating point of the river is about 30 miles from my town and therefore the river is a fairly thin here. It is pretty big near the harbor.

Thanks for stopping by.

Summer and Green: Going, Going....

Do-Something-Everyday, August 21, 2016

Yesterday, I took a walk along the Passaic River Trail before the big thunderstorm hit the area. Everything was summery green. Summer and green go together. Like love and marriage.

The river glistened in the afternoon sunlight.

 Though it was hot and humid, there were glimpses of the cooler season approaching.

Seasons come and go. Sometimes, they seem long and sometimes they are short. Our internal clocks too shift gears in anticipation, especially if your work cycles is tied to seasonal cycles. For me, working in higher education, fall is when new students come and classes start. Even when I am doing the same things I did the previous fall, it is still a season of new beginnings.

Small Things of Happiness

Do-Something-Everyday, May 23, 2016

Sometimes what makes us happy is no further than the front yard. What made me happy today is seeing the bearded iris standing tall and showing its happy face as I go by. Seeing the river disappear around the bend. A pair of ducks basking in the warmth of afternoon sun.
