There’s a house not far from where I live that comes alive in the summer as an old Wisteria that nearly encases the front porch blooms. It’s a magnificent sight that takes my breath away.  Several times I pulled to the side of the road so I could take photographs from a variety of angles.  I’ve struggled with how to do it justice, so in this 10” X 10” painting on Ampersand™  Aquabord™  I decide just to paint one small corner of the porch so I could share these beautiful blooms. Some day I’ll be brave and take a much larger view, but for now I’m delighted with Graceful Draping and hope you love it too.

Paintings are a wonderful way to travel back in time. I first photographed these ducks when I was at college in my late teens.  The pond was across the street from the college in a lovely Azalea Garden, where the Azaleas grew far larger than they ever grew where my family lived. I even remember it was near the beginning of the school year and I was exploring the area around campus. 

Not that I hadn't seen many ducks throughout my life, but the combination of the beauty and serenity of the garden has always made this image special for me. Naturally I felt the need to paint the scene many years later and travel back to that wonderful day wandering about the garden.

To see another painting of ducks, this time inspired when visiting a garden in New Zealand take a look at Keeping Watch.
