A special friend's blooming garden

A dear friend had me over to paint in her garden. It was a wonderful day, the birds were chirping, the bees were buzzing and the sun was shining. I know this sounds like an early Disney animated movie, LOL, but it really was that kind of special day. So here's a tiny painting of a quick impression of her beautiful garden with pretty pink peonies, yellow  and purple iris and blue stokesia. I'm putting this up for Painting Party Friday, come joint the fun and check out all the amazing talent at this party.

Hope you'll get to live in a Disney movie tis week, even if only for a few minutes.
take care, gerri

    Your days sound idllyic and not at all like the wet, grey and cold summer we're experiencing in Ireland!! I love the watercolour - so vibrant and still so delicate and the bunny is so cute! Happy ppf!

    That tiny visitor didn't want to miss out on all the fun that was taking place in the garden.
    What beauty in your painting, a gentleness, a stillness in fact.

    I love painting outside. If you have not experienced painting in the cool of the morning with the birds singing and surrounded by the sounds of nature then you are missing out. It is one of the true benefits of country living.
