Garden Bouquet

These are cut flowers from our garden. it has been a dry summer for flowers such as these. Also the bugs have been multiplying and the hollyhocks and roses have had interesting caterpillars that have had to be removed daily. Our garden gives us a lot of pleasure in the spring, summer and fall and many flowers to put in bouquets, such as this, in the house.

                                    

                            

A White House and Porch in Napannee

On Wednesday last week, we painted in Napanee at Springside Park. What a lovely sunny day with a gentle breeze, perfect for painting. After checking out Springside Park I went for a walk in the surrounding neighbourhood and found this lovely house. The sun just lit up the front of the house and the deep porch. I had found my painting. it was right across the road from the Chit Chat Cafe and in this parking lot was the perfect shady spot. The owner gave me permission to paint there and after I bought a coffee, I was ready to start. I think this is one painting that painted itself.

                            

This was done with oils on an 11x14 board.
