June 2026

June is making herself very hard to love this year. Recent mornings she has turned up with a very November look on her face. The word greige and June have no reason to appear in the same sentence.

I thought I would share a local weather explanation.

More of the same today!

Last year our yard was vibrating with heat and colour.

It is hard to think that yesterday the weather stopped any serious yardening and the only time I crossed the yard was to take washing to the tumble dryer.

It did not look this pretty.

The day was not without some colourful excitement. One of my hybrid images from my Meddled Photographs x Watercolour project has been chosen to be printed onto glass to create a unique splash back in a recently renovated kitchen.

The full description of my project is here.

I am sure there will be a splashback reveal soon. Currently there are many blue squares of wall adhesive on the freshly delivered glass.

It is the Meddled Photograph of the same location as the glum picture at the top of this blog.

Then late in the afternoon a conversation starter was posted on one of my arty Whatsapp groups.

My comment is the green one. What I love about this brief, arty exchange of ideas is that it is timeless.

Artists of all types would have had just this type of discussion throughout history.

As someone who has always had to embrace new technology. I am used to the challenges and the.convoluted thinking that these things often require. I would be really interested in what anyone who reads this thinks.

As it turns out,  a greige day was quite the fertile place for creative thinking.
