Barn & Blooms

I recently participated in a Zoom workshop with renowned Artist Paul Oman. He’s a favorite watercolor teacher and for this class, the focus was on painting daisies. So it seemed the perfect time try my hand at flowers and paint a lovely Wisconsin barn with daisies! And it’s Earth Day today, so later this morning, I’ll head outside to dig in the gardens and transplant the Sweet Pea plants that our grandchildren, Riley and Jaxson, carefully planted in early March. I’ll have to wrap the arbor in netting to protect them from our herd of deer – a group of five ambled through the yard a couple of days ago and we just discovered that they had a feast on our Emerald Green arborvitaes over the winter.  We'll have to see if those trees can even recover over the summer.

This week’s painting celebrates the wonderful trips across Wisconsin this winter on our way to drop off art in Door County. Barn & Blooms, 9” x 9” watercolor, reflects a late summer day in sunshine.
