The Garden Series

The Late Summer Garden is a painting of my front garden in early September, 2003. That’s the time the garden is at its unruly best: the earth pushing up its last offerings of the year; the tall purple asters in full bloom, giving off their light spicy scent; the sunflowers high and stretching out everywhere, raising everyone’s spirits. (I know that’s true because people passing by say so.)

On this bright day with a hint of fall coming on, the sunflowers and clouds start up a dialogue, while there’s a decided interaction between the flowers and the fence. The zucchini plants, secure at the edge of the vegetable bed, share the corner with a few sturdy zinnias. Life is maturing here and abounding.
