Enjoy the art inspired by Sara's image, Cottage Garden.
(The Inspiration Image is at the bottom of this post.)
Jeanne King: Who Lives in the Garden?

| Like Sara, gardens and gardeners are fascinating to me. I love the thought of all of the creatures that live in a garden. From the tiniest spider to the huge praying mantis, there is a whole community thriving among the flowers. |
Julie Brandt: Santa Fe Garden

Sarah’s and Helen’s depictions of a window with a garden
in front made me think of these very colorful Santa Fe windows and these hollyhocks. I always want to go to New
Mexico this time of year, and painting this helped me to be there in spirit. |

Each month I study Sara's Inspiration Image and thoughts then wait for an idea to come. This month
I kept being pulled back to her photograph. It featured my
favorite color combination: green, purple, and turquoise. It held a story that
made me wonder and made my mind wander. It fit my favorite
descriptive combination: Elegance within simplicity. I just had to spend time more time with this image. Her image intended for inspiration became my reference photo. |
Gardening is one of my hobbies, and I enjoy looking at them as well. Flower gardens, vegetable gardens, formal gardens, cottage gardens, and everything in between. The personality of the gardener shines through every time.
