| It's Pat's birthday today. So I ran out a few days ago to our favorite nursery, and bought a gift certificate. Pat LOVES gardening. And it's always so much fun watching her come home with a car-load of plants. Then all spring and summer, we enjoy the beauty of the garden - sounds a bit sappy, but it's gorgeous. Of course, I'm out there for hours, sketching and taking photos as long as there are flowers for "models". I was just going to give her the gift certificate, but did a decent sketch last night, put it on watercolor paper, and painted the background. I worked on the goose quickly this morning, and will finish it this evening after work. |
It is SO much nicer to receive a hand-made card isn't it? And this is going to be so fun and quirky :0)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly keep yourself busy, Kathryn. I'm beginning to understand the process the more I watch.
ReplyDeleteNothing soppy about gardening ... Pat and I also love it. Nothing finer than the dew on your eyelashes, the birds singing and the smell of fresh cut lawns. My trees have names ... but don't tell anybody :0)

Here's another Pat who loves gardening.... and your geese too!
ReplyDeleteLove it already, Kathryn! love the background! I look forward to the next post....
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying your geese!
ReplyDeleteYour geese are the best geese I've ever seen! "They" say paint the life around you and you do. A gift certificate to the nursery is a fantastic gift of months of joy. Gardens are what we look forward to all winter long. They give nothing but pleasure and inspire paintings.
ReplyDeleteYay! More geese! :)
