Primroses - Here - There - Everywhere

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 and online article for Southern Guide to Life magazine.  Yesterday as I pulled into a parking space at Ralph's Grocery Store  noticed a beautiful display with pots of Primroses marked $1.25 each.  I could not resist and ended up purchasing a number of the little happy colorful flowers to add pops of color to my Winter garden.  They inspired another little painting and idea for my magazine article.

Let's join Bentley, my Studio Assistant, in the garden and I will share with you a few of the photos and my new little painting of yellow Primroses.

The first thing I did was put the new plants in an old vintage wagon to pull around the garden to find places for them.  Bentley always wants to get in on everything going on in the garden and is a big help in looking for inspiration for me to paint!!!

I ended up placing some of the new Primroses beside the Pansies that are now in bloom in order to create a statement "pop" of color in my Winter garden.

                           A simple bloom can add a joyful spot of color to the Winter garden.

I placed some in vintage containers and also brought a few of them inside.  I will share those photos with you in my magazine article and let you know when it publishes.

Thank you for stopping by.  I love hearing from you and sincerely appreciate your visits, e-mails, comments and those of you who follow my blog.  Thank you for your comments and e-mails about the re-purposed painting - I repainted the chair green and made a few more changes and will share that with you next post.

Have a lovely week.  Blessings, Erin
