Garden Tour sources




Earlier this month the LAC had their annual garden tour...read all about it at http://www.lakewoodartscouncil.org/ A wonderful place for photo sources of all kinds, the gardens filled my camera...these paintings are of daisies I saw along the way (both 18x24 acrylic)...and after painting one group in color, I thought it would be interesting to paint the same view in black and white...maybe later I'll try some moonlit painting...


Foxgloves in SC


In May, I visited my home state of South Carolina..a beautiful time of year certainly! My sisters' gardens were no exception..my oldest sister has quite a spread, and I was taken with an area full of foxgloves...and here is the result!
