Zinnias

Clipped a bunch of zinnias to make little arrangements for painting. Such fun--great colors!

Cosmos & Zinnias

I may have been a bit of a scavenger in searching for these flowers. We've had frost, and am happy to say, clipped these beauties and brought them in before any damage was done. There were a lot of buds left, but their days were numbered and here they will be forever immortalized. :)

Slow & Steady

These are some of the very last flowers from our yard. We're having such beautiful weather this week, I was torn about leaving them or bringing them inside. In the end, the desire to paint them won out!

Garden Gems

I looked through all of my painting photos this morning, searching for the inspiration that would send me running to my easel. I have thousands of potential paintings, I mean photographs!, but none were calling to me. I went out to take a look at my garden and then looked over my vases because what I honestly wanted was to try and paint glass again.

I clipped a few colors of Zinnias, white and pink Cosmos, some Black-eyed Susans, and a taller pink one that I cannot remember the name of, and tried to make a pleasing arrangement. That was the toughest part! I did my best though, and the good news--I had something to paint that I was extremely excited about. Thanks for looking!
