If you really look around you,
​there is plenty to be thankful for...

Family, friends, good health, nature's bounty,
and the beauty that surrounds us every day.

Mini Series Monday #12 - Getting By On Less

7/27/2015

Despite our appreciation of the unseasonal summer rains
of a week ago, and the promise of an El Nino this winter,
we must still learn to live with the on-going drought.

And in case you are of the belief that drought tolerant plants
translate to "Brown is the New Green"
here are a few plant options that are currently blooming
which might change your perceptions...

All images above were photographed in Southern California
during the summer and represent a mixture of native species,
Mediterraneans, Australians, succulents and edibles -
limiting the combinations only to each gardener's imagination.

Summer Solstice

6/21/2015

The longest day of the year has come and gone,
15 hours and 6 minutes of sunshine...

...which I enjoyed by being outside until last light today
after a very full weekend which began and ended in the garden.

And so I share with you my impressionist interpretation
of a summer landscape which befits the "golden hour".

Although this year's drought has ironically brought me more
garden design projects than ever before,
I still managed to finally put together my alternate web site
GardenScape Studio
where I've gathered all my "garden" art in one place.

Maybe some day I'll actually post pictures of the gardens themselves...

Mini Series Monday #8 - March Madness

3/2/2015

0 Comments

 
Every year by the second week of March, our Wisteria
will have attained its exuberant peak - but this year
it is ahead of schedule and almost done for the season.

Its heady fragrance wafts from almost every corner of the garden - 
summoning me to return and be enthralled yet again,
so that I will continue in my attempts at capturing
a few visual memories to sustain me for the remainder of the year
when the billowing purples have become engulfed by green.

    As I See It...
    

    I spend a lot of time on the road and always have a camera with me - hoping to be ready when a serendipitous moment presents itself.

    Here you will find some of the day to day things that 
    may influence my art, news about projects I'm currently working on, as well as occasional musings on art, life and random visual non-sequiturs.
