Come and Sit For Awhile in My Garden

Song - Zen Garden

Orange Rose

There is a small group show going up at the gallery in May that I am participating in.  So for the last week I have been painting some 8 x 8 canvas's of my garden flowers.  I have a few more to paint but I just love painting happy flowers when it's gray, cold and storming outside!

A Sweet Pansy Face

What is it about a Pansy's face? They all seem to have something to say to me every morning when I look into their faces.  My favorite time of day is in the early morning when the birds are singing and there is dew on the leaves. Again in the late afternoon, while watering my gardens, it is my time to reflect on the day that is quietly going to sleep.

   In purple, gold, and blue,
   with tints of rainbow hue
   Mocking the sunset skies" - Thomas John Ouseley
