I'm almost finished with my 10" x 10" Bearded Iris and bluebird painting "Garden Perch". I started it this week and all the details are completed now, everything is done except the background....I'll get rolling on that this coming week. I'm really enjoying seeing my paintings on a white background at first, I like the clean crisp look that lets the main subject matter "pop".
We finally started to have some sunny weather again this week which allowed me to do lots of garden clean up and got me out there with my camera as well, to get photos of what is currently blooming.
I still have to plant annuals for this year but hope to get a jump start on that this week. Lots of colorful, beautiful blooms in the garden this spring to inspire creativity.
I hope no matter what area you live in, you are enjoying some lovely blooms that will inspire you to be creative this week.

I love "Garden Pearch" Ruth! So sweet! Your flowers look so pretty. My iris patches are small and spread out on my property. Over the years I hope they expand themselves so there are more blooms in each grouping! I love your pink bloom. :)
Hello Ruth,
Your new painting is BEAUTIFUL! Such bright and cheery colors and I love the subject matter :) Your flowers are looking wonderful...don't you wish the blooms would last all summer...sigh. Oh well. I hope your week is a beautiful warm sunny one.

Hi Ruth, Love your painting and it does really pop on the white background, but I know it will be gorgeous with your finish too.
Your garden flowers look fabulous. So glad you had a nice weekend in the garden. I know it is lots of work, but so worth it.

So nice to see you today. Happy Creating.
