Dragonfly Wings of Inspiration

For Paint Party Friday I am showing another water color painting of a flower bouquet picked from our garden. Its easy in the spring and summer to find inspiration outside our windows. There are many wonderful insects, including big fat bumblebees on our lavender to dragonflies skimming across our pool. So today, I am also sharing some garden photos with you too.

Hope you will find inspiration this week on dragonfly wings.
yours truly, gerri

    My dad painted. I have his artwork hanging in every room. I can't paint worth a darn--but I appreciate those who can. Lovely work here.

    Beautiful work- I love how soft and gentle your colors are- so pretty! And of course, I'm a FOOL for dragonflies- I saw the prettiest one yesterday at our pond, all blue, turquoise and green. I too find so much inspiration in the garden!
