I painted a small canvas of one of the vignettes I photographed at the garden. What a charming place. It seems many of these creative gardeners have given their little plots themes and adorned them with beautiful little items that relate to the plants they have chosen. A mini botanical garden , what a treasure. I loved the little New Mexico plot, cactii, special rocks, a colorful license plate.
So what do these green thumb artists not know about their artist in residence? I must confess, I have a garden of silk plants. My house is adorned with window boxes of silk flowers. I change them with the seasons of the year. If I had a talent for gardening I probably wouldn't have the time or energy for painting.
We all have our gifts. Hats off to the gardeners. Without them how could I paint a garden?
