Summers almost gone
The fields lie plowed in darkened brown purple.

I painted much this summer.
Had to concentrate on Landscapes but the heart wanted to continue with
the 14 portraits, that I have worked on for 2 years now.
Some still need much work to get right.
I make some quick self portraits in between so I wont loose the touch.

I try to find something new in the landscape,
some angle that I never painted before.
The Harvest perhaps?
I sit out when the blue night fall and paint the big machines that hurry to bring the
harvest in house before the rains will start.
The air is thick........ it's just before the rains brake.
There is a vague smell of diesel in the air.
The evening is not quit tonight!
The sky is so heavy blue as if the whole sea entered it
hanging over us and threatening to burst.
The harvester make so much dust, I never noticed the amount of dust before.
Opaque grey yellow in the day time and bluish grey in the night,
the light is caught and reflected in every grain,
It looks like a ghost .

I love the period when the wheat is bluish.
The meadows are full of foxtail grass
and rust red-pink acid grows high above.

It came out pale in the Internet. The colors are much more strong .
And shadows are purple not blue on my picture!
I guess my camera is compensating for the missing light, when it's raining outside.
Have seen before that the camera can't reproduce the real color harmony
Specially purples and reds are wrong!

When it rains I drink much tea!
Weeks of rain now, seas of tea inside
me.

Thinking of my grandmothers teacups!
They were black and pale blue- almost turquoise inside.

I was looking for photographs of deer under a tree, and I found your "Deer Nest" and "Blessings of an Apple Tree." I admire your colorful style!
