Welcome. I am so happy that you stopped by. My Garden gate is always open for you to come in and sit and relax with a cup of tea while I share with you the inspirations for my art. Nothing says Spring more to me in the garden than the color yellow - the happy - sunny yellow faces of Daffodils always make me smile. We had a wild Spring storm over the weekend here in Southern California with high winds and hail. I decided not to leave the Daffodils outside so they would not be damaged by the wind and hail. Bentley, my helpful Studio Assistant, was in the garden when the hail storm hit. He was not sure what to think of it and ran into the house to hide in his favorite spot on the stair landing. Needless to say he will not be escorting you into the garden to look for inspiration.
Daffodils before the rain storm. 
I love the colors of yellow and purple side by side. 
Now that the Daffodils are inside I have lots in arrangements around my house.

I love Bentley! And your paintings! Thanks ever so much! 8>)
Your daffodils are so pretty! Those little itty-bitty ones are really sweet! Glad you were able to cut hem and get them inside before the storm hit. I don't blame Bentley for running lickety-split into the house. Storms can be scary for little guys! Your paintings are so lovely. Can't help but smile.
There is just nothing prettier than daffodils - IMHO!
They bloom earlier here, but we had one lone daffodil blooming the other day. I wish they lasted longer.
Hello! Your paintings are so delightful. They cheered me up just looking at all the splashes of color! You are SO TALENTED! Susan
The flowers and the dog are admirable! This is a great site! As you have or haven't known I have a painting blog. If you aren't doing anything you could drop by anytime. Thanks!
So pretty and insiring, makes me want to start painting again.
Thanks Joelle

Hi Erin, it doesn't matter that your painting is from last year, that does not detract from it's loveliness. Poor Bentley, I know my guys are very afraid of thunder storms so, I can relate.

Oh so very pretty, daffodils, blue and white china and a fluffy puppy all just make me smile!

Your paintings make me smile and feel so happy! So much color, flavor and talent! I really appreciate you sharing your garden, Bentley and your gift of painting with your blog readers.
Your flowers are beautiful, your Bentley is so sweet and what a gorgeous painting! I love your style of painting. It's the nicest style I have ever seen, I think.
Hugs, Cindy
