When Dan and I first got married, I had such rosy dreams of having a beautiful garden, full of huge blooms, and lush colors… so, we spent several days pulling an endless amount of weeds, buying a huge truck of dirt, moving that dirt into place using a snow shovel, and planting tiny little seedlings. However, we were doomed. I have a brown thumb. None of my flowers got very big, and they certainly weren’t lush. But, the hydrangea plants saved my reputation. We planted three around the front of the garden, so they were always visible, and, thankfully, they bloomed! Ya… I felt like a pretty good gardener when I saw that…
In memory of those blessed bushes, I’ve painted this oil painting. It’s the largest one I’ve done so far (a little taste of things to come) and was very enjoyable to work on.
Check out my Etsy shop for paintings that are still for sale.
In less than 24 hours, someone will be the proud owner of a lovely oil painting! Be sure to enter the contest! I have just a few hours to go!!! I don’t want to have anyone come crying to me on Sunday, saying they “really meant to enter… but just forgot….” That would just be tragic. So, to save yourself from ultimate grief, be sure to check out the details and enter the contest!
