"The Colors Of Thuya Gardens"  5x7 Oil on Copper.  Framed inlight gold wood, and shipped for free!  300$

     I drove to Mount Desert Island to paint in Thuya Gardens.  I found an obscure place by the pond under the White Cedar trees.  Once in a while a small child would discover me painting.  It was fun to hear the high pitch squeal!  Some people didn't see me.  I was almost finished painting for the day when I looked up to see yesterday's gallery customers walking through the garden.  They were suprised to see me! 

  Here they are in Thuya Gardens!

  These are the hand carved doors by Joe Savage at the entrance of Thuya Gardens.  These doors make you feel as if you are entering a very special garden. 

  I stopped to take photos at a pumpkin field in Trenton.  I painted these pumpkins last October.  I may paint them again.  I spent all year thinking I would love to paint the pumpkins with their green leaves in a field.  When I saw some pumpkins still on the vine, I didn't like them as much.  I guess I like the pumpkins after frost has killed the green leaves.  The charcoal color of the leaves and the orange of the pumpkin seem to go better together! 

     I am beat!  I hope you had a great day!  Get out and paint!
