WHITE FLOWER FARM, CT

My annual trip to WHITE FLOWER FARM, takes my breath away, despite the humidity!

CHURCH

Churches are a common site when cruising around Connecticut. They are all unique & beautiful.

BY THE WATER

I'm going to be spending more time at my artist retreat...making use of my time along the shoreline.

NEW ENGLAND PASTEL

With the heat wave & endless rain, Connecticut is looking quite lush. With the change of season, I have to rearrange my pastel color sticks. I wont be needing my soft pastel colors for awhile. With the lush, deep colors of summer, I will be switching over to using my oil paints.

SPRING POND

A misty morning, early outing with my pastel. Pastel is definitely the perfect medium to express Spring in Connecticut.

MIX MEDIA

By the use of a few white & pink touches with my pastel onto the dark watercolor ground, I edited the shady secret garden into a brighter garden.

FLOWER POWER

Yes,  MAGNOLIA season came & went pretty fast in Greenwich, CT. I'm NOT painting fast enough to capture all these flowering trees and shrubs!

PINK & BLUE

Springtime in CT...abundance of flowering trees fluttering & dancing in the breeze.
