My Geraniums are glorious and the blooms are bigger than usual. Let's go into the garden and Bentley, my helpful Studio Assistant, will show you the Geraniums.
The blooms on the white Geraniums are as big as Hydrangeas.
The garden hat and red Geraniums are the inspiration for a new garden painting for my office.
The vintage blue windmill was from an old house that was torn down in Laguna Beach, California - it was 0n a fence overlooking the ocean and I have had it for years. It blew over in a recent windstorm and broke off some of the spokes - I still have them and am hoping that my Handyman can fix it. I decided to paint the ocean in the background of the Geranium painting as a tribute to the old windmill that spent years overlooking the ocean.
I have pots of red geraniums in my office and garden hats hanging on the wall and thought the painting would be the perfect addition.

I am "re-purposing" a large painting for my office with a seasside cottage garden theme and will share it with you next week.

Hello Erin,
I love very much your paintings, very bright colored and cheerful. They are perfect to decorate a beautiful seaside cottage. You do beautiful pictures and your garden looks looks very pleasant.
Being a painter myself (I am french) I would not dare to use so bright colors,this is why I love your style and the way you find your inspiration.
All the best
