On a recent trip, I took lots of photos of their beautiful outdoor lily pond.
I never know which visit to the garden or which set of photos will inspire a new future painting.
If you are an artist today, photos are one of the great sources of inspiration available to you. I love my volumes of photos taken through the years because no matter what the season, I can turn to them for creative inspiration at any time.
Taking lots of photos throughout the year enables me to always have a garden full of blooms to draw from, even in mid-winter.
Enjoy each and every new bloom in your own garden, making sure to take lots of photographs you can enjoy all year long.

These flowers are all so beautiful Ruth. A visit to a botanical gardens is always a favorite thing for me to do. It is amazing how much nature inspires us. I love having a blog as a place to document my flowers and plants each year.
Oh, this brings back such good memories. Thanks so much for sharing ... a beautiful post from a beautiful gal.
Happiness always
Of course, photos are very useful and inspiring but still I prefer to make a sketch, noting the colors and shapes.
Later, I will use my sketch and my memory to create something. I found that using my memory is the best thing to do.
Of course, every artist has his/her favorite source of inspiration.
The water lilies are beautiful. They make me think of Monet's nympheas :o)
