Gordon

This is Gordon, a guide dog in training I met at a guide dogs for the blind event. I have painted several guide dogs. Perhaps they are easy subjects because they are so disciplined. All except their facial expressions. This 11 x 15 watercolor was juried into the California Watercolor Association member show to be held at the Dick Blick art supply store in Berkeley, CA for the month of June. Blick is very supportive of CWA events.
Blessings,

Memorial Day 2009

The cold wind that blew hard all weekend has abated. In spite of that I managed to clear more weeds and plant a few more seeds and plants. There is a point where one can say "The garden is in". It is usually the plants dearest to me--tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, beans and cucumbers. The earth is warm and pleasant to dig in. Years of adding compost has softened the clay soil. The drip lines are in place as are the gopher cages. My next garden will have raised beds lined with hardware cloth. For now, though, I'm enjoying the sweet peas. Blessings.

Welcome to my Garten

Welcome to my garten where my passion for art and gardening flourish. I will be posting my thoughts and images on a regular basis. Like watercolor and gardening, I look forward to what happens!
We are blessed!
