Oranges and Lilies is the newest floral still life in Flower Mound Studio this evening, the end of a Monday, a holiday for many, and an especially momentous day for Studio Director AnnieBee, who acquired a new green alligator toy from PetSmart this afternoon. I'm working on the graphics for my next newsletter, so be sure to sign up if you have not already. I'm awarding a special prize to one of my subscribers to celebrate passing the 2000 fan mark for my art page on Facebook! I promise it will be something a bit fancier than a green alligator toy from PetSmart...

Neighborhood Watch ~ Coronado Island Cottage is based on one of the outdoor scenes and interesting floral dramas of my favorite island just off the coast near San Diego, California. Visiting the island and seeing the rose and flower gardens and arbors is a feast for the artist's soul. Each spring when we visit I get out my Annual Flower Show Map and direct the hubby up and down the winding streets in search of blue ribbon gardens. Upon spotting some delectable rose arbor or delphinium bed, I shriek "STOP!" and the hubby finds a place to park while I leap out of the still rolling car barely able to focus my camera. After several gazillion dozen photos of each scene, I return to the rental car in triumph, only to find the hubby hiding behind a map pretending not to know the crazy woman with the Nikon marching all over the immaculate Coronado lawns. I suppose there is some truth to his mortification, since each time I try to hail a cottage owner to announce I am smitten with their garden, they scurry off inside and hide themselves until I wander away.
