Gregory's garden


'Wisteria' 6" x 6"

The House Tour is today in the town that I live. We have dozens and dozens of historic, beautiful townhouses built in the late 1800s and each year twelve of them are open to the public (proceeds benefitting the house tour). This morning started off with a bit of rain and the forecast wasn't favorable.... but, one hour before the event, the clouds broke and the sun peeked through and the temperature was cool and crisp. Perfect walking and touring weather.

Four of my paintings were featured in one of the grand homes on the tour. Two paintings from my 'Music Series', one from the 'Pink Series' and one from the 'Dead Fish on Ice' series entitled 'Sea Creatures from the Venetian Fish Market'. I was invited to paint at the owner's home and chose a lovely spot on the outside porch in the garden. Gregory has old wisteria growing up one side of his house which spans over the second story porch. Stems intertwine with each other and leaves cascade down creating a feathery canopy. From the upstairs living room fire place, the burning wood smell permeated the cool Autumn air ....

If you have ever been on a house tour, you'll reminisce how exciting it is to see into the world of someone else... a little voyeuristic. Experiencing life through their eyes, even if just for a moment. Seeing how they live, looking at their art, their gardens, listening to their music. It's a wonderful opportunity to share who you are... your world.

Gregory's world is pretty beautiful I'd say. Please save a spot for me next year as well......
