I have a passion for flowers and when I lived in Virginia, California, Alabama and Florida, I had amazing, beautiful gardens full of local varieties of plants and flowers. I have to say I miss that living here in the desert, where water is rationed and the soil like concrete. In Vegas people grow very little or have rock and cactus gardens. I miss my flowers.....so I paint them!

I have to say, I still miss the scent of my lavender plants, the buzz of the bees and cutting my lovely roses and peonies fresh for a vase. ;)

I'm in the mood to paint some sunflowers next and maybe my favorite Hydrangea!

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
