New Blooms & Mother Goose


It's Wednesday already, I can't believe how time flies!
Here are some new flowers in the garden, the above photo shows two types of salvia and a burgundy penstemon in the back. I'm mad about salvias lately.

Lovely Delphinium. I think this would make a nice watercolor painting.


A new addition to my garden, Persian Cornflower.

Yarrow with a Scotch broom in tha background.


I love the delicate pink flowers on this toadflax.


In PFATT we are having a Mother Goose Challenge this week.
My favorite rhyme as a child was "Banbury Cross" and I have always wanted to incorporate this theme into a piece of artwork. Here is my painting of the "fine lady upon a white horse". I wanted it to have a whimsical Rennaissance feel. Be sure to search Ebay for PFATT and see what our other members have created!


Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross
To see a fine lady upon a white horse
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
She shall have music wherever she goes
