Garden Inspirations

>Welcome. I am so happy that you stoppeded by. My garden gate is always open for you to come in and sit and relax with a cup of tea while I share with you the inspirations for my art. The breeze is blowing in from the ocean and it is a lovely day to sit in the garden and look for inspiration.

Let's join Bentley, my helpful Studio Assistant, to look for inspiration.

Can you tell that I collect BIRDHOUSES? I just love them as they remind me of little mini cottages. Does anyone else in Blogland land collect them? I almost feel like a "hoarder" as there are 6 of them in this photo.

I also like Adirondack chairs. Hmm - I am starting to see some inspiration already.

Finding inspiration . . . . . Here . . . .

There . . . . . . .

Everywhere . . . . . . .

I ended up painting a little garden painting using the Adirondack chairs and bird houses for inspiration.
