"We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts." ~ William Hazlett

Most people focus on the beauty of nature. However, Mother Nature touches us much more deeply. Nature isn’t about how it looks. Instead, nature is about how it makes us feel and how it touches us deep in our hearts.

Join us all month long as we post challenges based on the the Glorious Beauty of Mother Nature and her Four Seasons.

A new Blue Plate Special challenge is posted each Monday (sketch), Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Participants have until the 3rd of the following month to complete and post their creations in the Cookin' up Creations Gallery.

Prize will be a $20 Gift Certificate to their favorite online store (random drawing)

Today’s challenge is inspired by the summer sun! I can’t think of summer without thinking of long, warm, sunshine filled days. So, in addition to using this sketch I created for this challenge, please include at least two other elements inspired by the sun. It can be the word (sun, sunshine, sunny etc), maybe you’ll feature the color yellow, or create a sunburst design, or a circle element as part of your design, lots of possibilities here!

And here’s my example
