How does your garden grow?

My garden
honors roots
and new growth.

Painted for Inspiration Avenue weekly challenge.
I have found that I prefer doing this type of challenge rather than painting photographs or street scenes. Why? This is something that came from my heart.
It is how my garden grows.

How does your garden grow?

  7. So beautiful, Gemma. My garden grows abundant and wild, with passion, strength, spice, and wonder.

    I just harvested most of the garlic this morning, and even after washing, the scent still lingers on my fingers. ;)

  10. I love the colors and the way you accented those roots. You also put your heart into your ... art!

    If you don't have your heart into gardening, you might as well hang it up ... especially in the spring!

    Lovely post, gemma!
