May's Garden






Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how beautiful,' and sitting in the shade.




Show me your garden and I shall tell you what you are.



In search of my mother's garden, I found my own.




It will never rain roses: when we want to have more roses we must plant more trees.







Gardening is how I relax. It's another form of creating and playing with colors.




Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul.






A garden requires patient labor and attention. Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.





When I go into the garden, I forget everything. It's uncomplicated in my world of gardening. It's trial and error, really. If something doesn't work, it comes out, and you start all over again.





A garden must combine the poetic and he mysterious with a feeling of serenity and joy.




Won't you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.

Save a Tree….Carve a Tiki





Sadly, this queen palm has died…a toxic disease that affected a couple of our other queens…we were warned it would spread and it did.



No choice but to call the tree trimmer.


However, this is no ordinary tree trimmer.  Behold - Chainsaw Art!


And it just keeps getting better…add the grinder for detail work.




30 minutes from start…(longer than Mr. Trey expected)…here's the result!  Happy Dance!  Pretty awesome seeing the whole process!




As he stands…with a heart tattoo for my tiki loving husband:)

Working on Some Palms....

I've had a canvas sitting around collecting dust for awhile....
I'd done a very ambitious background which I happened to love...
Neglected to take a picture of...
Lots of blues on the teal side, green, yellow...
Anyhow, I got inspired...
And here's the progress thus far...


I have to say barely any of the original background is still visible.....
Lots of acrylic layers encouraged to drip thanks to a spray bottle and a desk chair for an easel...

My new favorite color is "Pyrrole Red Light"....(don't ask me how to pronounce it)...
Just know I'm a big corally orangey reddish fan...

Completely different theme for me...
and have to say I'm enjoying it!

Joining Paint Party Friday and you should Too:)


HappY HolidaYs To ALL!!!
