Spring Memories - Coronado Rose Arbor by Floral Artist Nancy Medina

Spring Memories
Coronado Rose Arbor by Nancy Medina
14X14
Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

With temperatures in Dallas below freezing, and my toes feeling just a little numb right now, the time seemed right to break out the rose brush and recreate my trip to San Diego. This painting is based on one of the dozens of rose arbors I love on Coronado Island, just over the bridge, in Southern California. I miss the weather there, but somehow doubt Carlos and I will ever be able to afford to move back. I used to tell my friends that it was "an honor and privilege" to live in California, based on all the hidden costs that kept us living from paycheck to paycheck. But the beautiful landscapes, the amazing weather, and the lifestyle are sure hard to forget, especially right now in the heart of a Texas winter!

Morning Sun on the Rose Arbor by Roxanne Steed



8"x6" oil on linen mounted on archival panel

"Gardening is about enjoying the smell of things growing in the soil, getting dirty without feeling guilty, and generally taking the time to soak up a little peace and serenity." - Lindley Karstens


Thank goodness for a long bit of sunshine today! We've had so much rain lately, I felt like I need to keep checking to see if I've grown gills yet. This past Saturday my hubby and I went over to the Stonington Garden Show, for a bit of inspiration. Even though I don't have the ocean view, I love this garden we have. It's designed to have many intimate spaces almost like outdoor rooms or passages that connect. Passing through this arbor and gate, this climbing rose is a fragrant one, and is so delightful to pass underneath it! Just a little bit of peace and serenity in my own yard.
