In the Garden

Happy I painted this hydrangea bush, because it is not there anymore. We still have lots in other places in the garden. It seems to be a wise old plant.

This was Happy Jack napping on my lap.

Budding Amarylis

Fuchsia in the Garden

Amaryllis

Our friend Sally dropped off these lovely tulips on a cold wintery day. Was just what I needed to paint and to think of spring on it's way.

This bindweed grows wild around our front yard and porch. Admire it's life force.

A Peacock Gladiolus

.. years later and it has grown so tall it’s almost to the ceiling.

painted on ipad with artrage at my mom's apartment

I love hanging out with, and painting the Amaryllis!

Fuchsia

Digital painting on IPad, using ArtRage app.

The Oxalis or Shamrock Plant with Bob in the living room.

Stockings were new for us this year. I had as a child, and always enjoyed. They were a hit, so we now have a new tradition.

Enjoying the flowers in the garden.

Thankfully it's spring and I'm back in the garden!

Cyclamen

Hibiscus

I love Chinese Lanterns, that's why I paint them so often. The orange is so vibrant.

This painting was done from a photograph taken by Amanda who also planted the garden that these snapdragons are in. She was interested in capturing the fly because it kept flying in and out of the snap dragon blooms. I thought this was cool, and I had never Painted a fly before.

Calla Lilies in the Garden

This was the last digital painting of mine that my mom saw before she passed. I painted it for her.

That time of year again: I am thankful the fuchsia continue to bloom.

Focussed on the blooming Christmas Cactus inside, while outside is all white with snow.

Digital painting, that I paint on my iPad using the ArtRage app. A Lovely blooming African Violet in the window with our old black truck outside.

Digital Still Life of a Geranium, painted on my iPad inside.

The snow keeps piling up...and we are comfy inside. This image is a collage of a digital painting of Christmas Cactus and a close up photo of Jack.

Inspired by a snap shot my late husband Michael took on his dumb phone. He planted the bulbs in the forest behind his mother's house.. which is now my house. Spring has yet to arrive, it's March 1, 2023 when I am writing this updated description. It takes a longtime for the snow to melt in the spring, especially in the shade under the trees.

I love Dandelions. My mom did too. When I was little, and living in Collingwood, mom would cook dandelion greens. She understood me, why I was sad when we were shamed into cutting our lawn. I love the yellow happy flowers, and later when then go to seed. This painting is somewhat dark... I've been grieving her passing. It's a year now.

Budding Begonia

First sign of spring

Finally spring has arrived on Prince Edward Island:)

We are having a lovely summer. So thankful after such a intense winter. I choose to focus on the beauty and peace around me, in my art. I am not however blind to what is happening in my community, country, and earth. I am awake.
