The story of Creation was set in a garden and so I was not surprised that I stumbled on a book entitled the The History of Gardens in Painting. Maybe not a book genre in which everyone would be interested but I became quickly enthralled. I recognized a lot of the famous masterpieces and learned some interesting things as well. Of course, I have to share a few of them here with you.
Edvard Munch, whose well known work is The Scream, painted a lovely work, Appletree in the Garden. Who knew?
Surprisingly, I could not discern any of the distinctive van Gogh style or colors in a very early 1884 work of his called Parish Garden.
I rediscovered Pissaro’s Impressionism and wondered how I had ever forgotten. I found another new favorite artist and would encourage you to explore the works of Emile Nolde. He was also inspired by van Gogh’s effusive color.
I am momentarily back into hand painting cards and the pic is a close up of one part of them. Have plans to paint another tote bag but this time it is a designer purse and so I am really nervous.

Live simply.
Love generously.
Care deeply.
