Summer Visit With Cris in Oregon

Our last day of vacation took us to Southern Oregon and our friends, Cris and Con's lovely home. Annie, their border collie got lots of attention from DH and Con...while Cris showed me around their lovely home, which she has decorated to the nines. I love love love seeing all her wonderful paintings in person. The house is a small art gallery in each room including the garage! Art runneth over everywhere. I added her blooms for Bloomin' Tuesday, of which there was a glorious abundance! It was so calming and relaxing to sit in this garden to talk and enjoy each others company. Thank you Cris for a delicious lunch and the opportunity to enjoy being together again. I brought a small token of appreciation that I started at home and finished in the car... and more car art... you can see closer up photos of these on her July 6th post if you have not already seen them...and proof that I was there too! ;-) I love all your art Cris, and thanks for the print of this one taken in a soft light. I'll post it later when I take the print out of it's roll so you can see the bright colors of the beautiful lanterns.
