Your flowers are counting on you

It is watering season. And it’s been SO dry which makes it all the more important to fill your cans and get out there. If you haven’t yet, you should sign up for the TGP newsletter. They share watering tips in the latest edition plus other great info. Use the link in the sidebar on the right to reach their site.
Meanwhile, check out a closer look at the watering cans I have at the Naperville location so you can pick one up and water in color!
When will I see you next?

The annual Growing Place Gardener’s Art Festival is coming up fast. Saturday, June 25, the doors will open at 9 a.m. at the 25w471 Plank Road, Naperville, Illinois, IL location.
I will be located on the east side of the front lawn. I’m very excited to be back this year and hope to see you there. I’ll have my always-popular assortment of garden-inspired goods including watering cans, stools, chairs and more. There’s also a good chance I may have some additional India-inspired items, so be sure to come and say hello.
Watch here for updates and photos of what I’ll be bringing to the show.
See you soon!

Merry Christmas my Buddhist friend

This was my project to finish this weekend. Success! Delivered to my friend Hiede Saturday as a Christmas-non-Christmas gift. The model in the painting is Lilly my dog friend who lives with Hiede and her family. (I don’t have many dog friends… a good thing because Archie does NOT appreciate it!)
Merry Christmas! Season’s Greetings! Happy Holidays!
Cheers

The time is near!

I spent Saturday and yesterday painting in preparation for the Gardener’s Art Festival at the Growing Place this coming Saturday, June 21 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. I’ll be in the front lawn area this year and am hoping for a day as beautiful as those we had this weekend. A little less–well, a lot less– wind than yesterday would be better.
Come visit if you are in the area. It is always a great show and the gardens at the Growing Place are worth the visit all on their own.
See you soon!

Looking forward to the weekend

Last weekend we had a great time visiting in Missouri. My nephew Ely graduated from Plattsburg High School. It was a really nice ceremony and it was so good to see him SO happy!
Visiting after the graduation with Ely and his brother Sammy, and seeing people I haven’t seen in a long time was just as good as I expected. An important note: John got to meet Sam’s mom which is something Sam was very excited to have happen. I just love that the two of them have become such good friends.
Here’s a picture from the day before when John and I were out roaming the countryside.
Looking forward to the long weekend at home to paint for the show at the Growing Place on June 21, and to work in the yard!
Hope the weather is as beautiful by you as it is here. Happy Memorial Day weekend all!
Cheers!
