Painting My Garden ~ Our Fairfield Home and Garden

Not only do I love to garden, I love to paint the flowers and birds seen there! In fact, watercolor painting has become a new-found love.
After I retired three years ago, I signed up for watercolor painting classes. Every week since, I paint something from my gardens or Longwood Gardens, where I take the classes.
Recently, I found a vintage gardening book and have been painting flowers on its pages. I love how the text pops through the watercolor painting, don't you?
Using old windows, I have framed prints of my pictures, too. They make a wonderful accent on a wall or gifts for special friends. I distress the frames and then rub a bit of color in so the paint cracks are accentuated.
So many of Our Fairfield Home and Garden's readers and friends asked about buying my artwork that I had prints made and set up a shop on my website! I hope you will visit and see more of my watercolor paintings. Thanks for taking a peek! Barb
