The first view of Jerri's greenhouse!



The first view of Mark and Jerri's (son and wife) new place in the country was driving into their driveway in late winter and seeing a greenhouse full of exploding color....brightly blooming geraniums that had been dug up and held over for spring. What a breath of fresh air that was....I immediately loved their new digs. It inspired me....not unusual....to get out the watercolor sketch pad and capture that color. One sketch turned into an oil painting as a gift to one of my nieces, Heather....another garden lover. Until gardening seasons is in prime time.....settling for painting gardens is just perfect!

Gardening tip of the day: Always have a greenhouse with a view! Snake River is perfect!
