In The Garden



Ciao gentle readers..

if you have been following me for a while you know that I 

L O V E, love 

my garden.. 

and that is probably not as passionate a word 

to describe how I feel about 



Cut peonies waiting to go into a vase..



my garden and gardening in general





like the impressionist painter Monet.. my garden gives me endless 
opportunities to paint..
to draw and to imagine..





My peonies bloomed so late this year..
they always bloom by the end of May..

but they have just now bloomed, and while they were worth the wait..
I would have liked to have them bloom earlier..






This garden is our tiny back yard and the neighbors drive by daily because it
faces the alleyway that we share with 7 different families..
so I hear their comments and compliments and 

it is rewarding to hear them..



I have had so many comments on my peonies..
and phlox this year which was so gorgeous and made me wish I had planted more!





There is something so lush and elegant about the peony..
if I had more space, I would definitely plant a field of peonies..

I am working on a new painting of Demeter..
which is giving me fits..

and several tiny books...





 

and I will have photos soon..

but I am also getting ready for my annual


Studio Sale

Saturday,  July 12 at 10 am

for the in person sale, but the online sale will ruin

thru the weekend..


This year I am planning to give art 

AWAY..

yes!!! 

I will have a selected group of art

set aside that will be free with the

purchase of another piece of work


so you will have to keep stopping by

to see what I have in 

mind..


Thanks for stopping by and looking at one of the 

gardens here at the 

Lily Cottage..
