Oh Happy Day

I am so excited to be done with this painting!  I have no idea why it took so long, but it took the majority of three weeks.

I don’t know… is it bright enough? lol

I LOVE working large.  Seeing all that color gives me a burst of energy.  I think my favorite part is the leaves, well, close second is the sunflower.

I just got my mulch delivered.  I get so psyched this time of year.  It’s like I get to move from paper and canvas to earth’s canvas.  All the flowers in this painting, I helped bring into this earth. I planted them from seed, weeded, watered, nurtured and then you get to watch their beauty unfold.

Painting and gardening are very much the same thing.  Nurturing something until you can bring its beauty out.

ok. I’m officially done…  I can’t wait to start again!
