Paint Party Friday - Summer Cherries

It's Canada Day today, and a public holiday. Prince William and Kate are visiting Canada and generating some excitement! Here's a video of their arrival.

Welcome to Paint Party Friday. This week's sketch is called 'Summer Cherries', it's just a garden scene I thought was pretty.





Here's an inspiring (and art related) story for you:

Let's go see what everyone else did this week!

Beautiful! Our cherry trees are just babies, but I dream of spreading a blanket out in the orchard and eating cherries straight from the trees.
