A New Beginning

Welcome to the month of July!  

For Sunday Sketches and Summer of Color, I did a Sunrise in Lemon Yellow and Strawberry pink colours (strawberry lemonade punch as per Kristin's theme).  It's an acrylic (6.5" x 2") on cardstock.  I've added a quote by Jonathan Lockwood Huie.

    Yes, can you believe it is July? It's grey, cool and cloudy here again and rained a while ago... :(

    Nice to see your sun!
