Sneak Peek

I've been working on a painting that I should finish by the end of the week. I thought I would share a sneak peek of it. When it's completed, I'll post it.

Detail of "Edible Flowers", 13"x21" diptych

      Yep, Gail, these are from Arlington Gardens. I also have some pretty good photos of artichoke plants from the Arboretum. What are you working on?

      I've been busy helping a friend who is remodeling her kitchen so my painting
      has suffered. But seeing your beautiful painting inspires me!

      You have a lucky friend getting your help! Putting in our garden put me behind but I'm "back in the saddle again!"

      And how does your garden grow, Miss Kittie? I'm sure things will be popping up before you know it!
