Sitting in my garden is a morning ritual. That first Diet Coke of the day tastes best when viewing my flowers and the river. Dog at my feet, I take in my surroundings. Ignore the bugs and humidity. It’s a quiet time of reflection and inspiration. So, what if I combine the comforts of the inside with the beauty of the outside? That’s what I am contemplating right now. Here is the first piece of the series-“Garden Party”. It’s 18″x24″. I am thinking larger for the next few… just ordered some 24″x36″ canvases. If you have an idea, let me know. I just took some wonderful photos of a place at the end of the road with a lovely riverbank and overhanging trees. I am thinking lanterns, chandeliers, and of course, a fully dressed table. Stay tuned. I also see a bicycle in the works soon…and so many other things… vacation has me rested and ready!
