VISUALIZING MY SECRET GARDEN......

Living in the South Western United States, I miss the green and lush backyard gardens of the Eastern part of our country.  Don't get me wrong my backyard is beautiful, though rocky and rugged with more lichen than flowers growing.  After the monsoons is our season of flowers with beautiful blue wildflowers springing up between the rocks and mesquite plants.  They are small but profuse like a blue carpet. But I do miss the lush big blooms of the perennials I use to  plant in my backyard in Michigan.

Visualization is a great tool to use when you are in a slump or as I call it (my summer snit; when it is hot and dry and dull brown) and I want to move to a more beautiful GREEN place. As an artist I like to take my visualization and turn it into a more permanent visual picture.

So my creativity takes over to bring the rich color of a hidden garden, smack dab in the middle of the South West.  You will find many of my newest paintings with this theme; eye popping color and gigantic flowers as I visualize what I wish I had.........   Growing flowers like these would definitely bring the Javalina..... they would make a tasty treat for those pesky critters.  So I must only dream.....
