A large portion of the piece is filled with the glorious Morning Glories that grow on our back fence. These flowers are so delicate and such a vibrant shade of blue, with just a touch of lavender. The morning blooms are really a site to see against their odd shaped leaves. This piece represents not only how lovely these flowers are, but the artistry with which they can totally take over an area. Even when you think you have tamed them, the vines can quickly become out of control.  These beauties can put out runners 20 feet from the mother plant. My husband just sighs every time he goes into our side yard. I’m pretty sure, if it wasn’t for those glorious flowers, he would have pull them all up a long time ago. The always vibrant sunflowers and the hardy zinnias add splashes of color throughout our garden, just as they do on the canvas. Their yellows and oranges are spectacular. No garden is complete without a little recycled or renewed “garden art”. I have lots of these bits and pieces of  “garden art”, throughout my yard. Glass bottles of different colors, old birdhouses in different shapes and sizes; each flower, plant, and object, all come together to create my garden masterpiece, both on and off the canvas.

” A morning glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books”

Walt Whitman
