My mother loved the garden. I also loved the garden of my grandparents.
I've painted first the watercolor.
And then just now the egg tempera jointlye with Forget-me-not my version of a painting of Philipp Otto Runge.
This lovely theme brings back many good memories of time in gardens as a child, now as a mom... and with bros and sis all over the world... and of course the feeling of dark, wet earth on my hands during planting and sweetest smell in my nose. Thank you, dear Renilde!

Who is next?
What a happy place your garden is Ariane, flowers and veggies, small hands exploring and discovering, all those memories connected to a garden.
AntwortenLöschenYour interpretation of Runge's painting suits your 'garden mood' so well, the egg tempera in greenish shades is wonderfully light and sweet, the forget-me-nots are starting to flower here too, tiny beauties.
Thanks for your garden, xx
Dear Renilde,
Löschenthank you very much for your lovely theme! I have a mind to deepen it...

hello, hello. as usual, i so enjoy a walk around your pages, in this case, gardens, both of memory and of today. you give us so much, every time! is that you at the very end of your post, sitting in the sunshine?
AntwortenLöschenpainting with egg tempure, that's a first... it sounds pretty complex, probably too complex for me, but never mind, it is intriguing.
your gardens of past and present are so wonderful, your images from the past, they tell it all, don't they?
i find here the inspiration for your own interpretation...
it's romance.
in a wheel barrow!
;)))

Yes, its me, sitting in the sunshine,
Löschendear Nadeschda!
I've discovered last week how importantthe garden of my grandparents is for my life. And some blue memory turns into romance... in a wheel barrow, you're right!
Oh, I dream of a garden for the future...
Love

I have tried to create a garden like that
for my children
;^))

P.S
AntwortenLöschenand that birch drawing/painting
so, so fine
it is my favorite tree
but we do not have one in the garden
because our eldest is allergic
Dearest Patrice,
Löschenthank you, sweet gardener.
I think, you've create such a garden for you children. All the more you renounces your favorite tree for your eldest.
Love

My dearest Stephanie,

Garden... as you said it... green and lush and also useful. Wonderful.
Love to you
I want to tromp through Queen Isolde's garden this very minute.
AntwortenLöschenOh, all of these gardens have me longing for home! We don't have any type of garden in Nola, but we do make it to the park.
Your water colors are beautiful and such treasures.
have a great day,
Rachel
That would be fantastic,
Löschendear Rachel,
it would be fun: there are other gardens, ditches with frogs, horses... and flowers, blossoms, later in the year fruits and veggies.
In the small house there is no water or electricity, but a small gas cooker. Last year we had fried fresh potatoes, zucchini and onions, a bit of rosemary... perfect!
Maybe, some day...
Love
Thank you for inviting me, I am happy and it is an honour to be a host this weekend. The theme will be SMILE, love Leena
AntwortenLöschenDear Leena,
Löschenthank YOU! that makes me happy and your theme makes me smile.
Love!
