Sit a Spell – Lounging Around in a Tennessee Flower Garden

After a peaceful visit to a flower-filled Tennessee garden, I’m back home briefly before painting in St. Louis and heading next to San Diego. Inspired by landscapes and light, I’m gathering beauty on the road—though my pugs aren’t shy about voicing their travel complaints!

There is nothing more inviting than a glider in a flower-filled garden, and nowhere I’d rather be on a cool day. I’m home after visiting Collierville, Tennessee, this week, and heading to St. Louis in a few days to swing a brush in my hometown. Lately I’ve found myself being drawn to landscapes and light, and thanks to the beautiful gardens of my Tennessee hostess, Carolyn, I was able to capture some photos for paintings for some time to come.

As soon as I’m back from St. Louis, I’ll be heading to San Diego, California! In the meantime, my little helpers are taking me to task regarding the excessive traveling I’ve been doing. As you can see here, AnnieBee in particular notes, “Mama, you got some ‘splainin’ to do!”
