I love to paint and I love to garden. I try to do a little of each, every day. I started to garden 13 years ago. I love to experiment with unusual plants. I always wished I could have more confidence with art, so about 4 years ago I decided to draw or paint every day, for an hour. I’m still going…. at an hour per day.Tumblr (3.0; @gardenart)http://gardenart.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/960e23b04d70071633b1b07a926e0177/tumblr_moluhcGeFO1qgrsuco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Preliminary watercolor sketch in blue,  of some flowers from my garden.</p>http://gardenart.tumblr.com/post/53299383377http://gardenart.tumblr.com/post/53299383377Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:05:00 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b00f5da3be6be4748ca5916cd940e370/tumblr_moktqtQPoD1qgrsuco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>watercolor practice in my garden</p>http://gardenart.tumblr.com/post/53261594913http://gardenart.tumblr.com/post/53261594913Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:52:00 -0400watercolor practicewatercolor<p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://mirandaarenee.tumblr.com/post/52993135505/i-am-only-254-followers-behind-my-mom">mirandaarenee</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>i am only 254 followers behind my mom</p> </blockquote> <p>Ha Ha &#8230;.. :) This is my daughter&#8217;s blog.
