Making art and a garden go hand in hand.

The first things that comes to mind are composition and color.

A composition needs a focal point, something that is smashing and eye catching.  It could be a trellis with a humming bird vine trained over it. In front of the trellis, place a plant such as an Elephant Ear, add Astilbe and Lambs Ear to give movement, as well as adding contrast with dark green, soft pink and gray color.

Place your easel in the shade, begin to sketch and or paint. Your focal point is already set up!

Please join me in this peaceful place, and enjoy nature. Spring  is a beautiful time to be outside.  Have you noticed all the different greens and reds?
