The Clever Illustrations of Jessica Roux

There's no denying that Jessica Roux's illustrations draw me in.
It's her subdued color scheme, the moody depth she creates with shading,
and her subject matter, which I find especially interesting.

 Her groupings of items into themed collages are my favorites.
Take time to notice her clever choices:
cone flowers, dainty teacups, a morel mushroom, ornate embroidery scissors.

Jessica's subject matter reflects her infatuation with nature. 

I feel instantly calmed as I look through the illustrations of this talented artist.

See if you do, too.

Bringing together several items in celebration of yellow!
Bright, optimistic, cheerful, uplifting, enthusiastic.

"Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot,
others transform a yellow spot into the sun."
-Pablo Picasso

Lemon and blueberries. Two of my favorites. The combination is fabulous!
This recipe shouts "summertime"!

2 C crushed butter crackers (1 sleeve)

1/3 C powdered sugar

1/3 C butter, melted

6 oz frozen lemonade, partially thawed
1 T lemon juice
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 C fresh blueberries

Combine crust ingredients and press into bottom of ungreased 9x13" pan.
Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Combine filling ingredients, then fold in blueberries.
Spread gently over cooled crust.
