Two of my favorite things are gardening and creating art. As a gardener and an artist, I love the colors, the smells, the peace and solitude that my time spent in the garden and in front of a canvas, brings to me. As an artist, I endeavor to express my love of nature in each of my pieces. I try to capture the beauty created by an undeniably talented God.

Garden Art Journal and Branching Out

I am loving my garden art journal. I especially love these two pages. First I love, love cherry tomatoes and I also love, love, bright colors and the contrast of the black against the bright colors. These pages are done with watercolors, gouache, white gel pen, and Faber-Castell pen.

I have also been trying some new things, branching out for the April Sketchbook Challenge. This is really stepping out on a limb for me. Although the piece is still evolving, I'm really enjoying creating it. I Used watercolors, acrylics, and pages from an old book.
