I often tell myself I'm going to revisit paintings, do another sitting, touch things up. But I never do and this is no exception. It's probably for the best because my rare attempts to improve paintings usually have the opposite effect. 

I wish the native garden still looked like it does in the painting - that would mean it was late July, but we've moved on to purple and white asters and golden rod - still going strong, just another phase.  I'm happy with it, considering I had two little monkeys painting alongside.

The native plant garden in my backyard - still mostly green. The kids were watching Raya and the Last Dragon, so I had two hours.  I got it done in about ninety minutes...It was cloudy, so the light stayed pretty consistent, but it was still bright - good painting conditions. Another summer vacation begins.
