Garden Chairs

These garden chairs were tucked into a flowering hedge at one of my favorite outdoor gardening shops, Northwind Perennial Farm. It's the kind of place that has been so artfully and tastefully done that you could spend an entire afternoon lingering around. They also have animals, so we try and go with our boys often.

Alliums

Alliums are one of my favorite flowers to grow and paint! I had a lot of fun painting this one nice and loose with brush.

Garden Chicken

Took this amazing photo of a mama chicken at the Northwind Perennial Gardens and have been looking at it for almost two years now. I wanted to try painting it, but was so intimidated by the intricate details on the bird; it was a challenge! Started with the brush on black, but needed to brighten up the feathers. In the end I'm really glad I introduced the palette knife because of the texture it added.

Mermaid Moment

I adore this mermaid and her serene moment. She looks so tucked in, carefree with her relaxed pose, spiritual and knowing, just lazing the day away. Found her at the Northwind Perennial Gardens in Lake Geneva, one of my favorite places to visit.
