“Le Tour des Jardins”
2011
This is one of 3 of my paintings in progress at Leo Street!
Below are the finished paintings. Each is hand signed, titled and dated.
Pink Hydrangea
10 x 9 inches -Prints are $20
This lovely hydrangea was painted at a private home on Leo Street in Shreveport for the 2011 “Le Tour des Jardins”.
The garden is owned and single handedly planted by a a lovely 88 year young woman. You can see all of the love and care that goes in to every corner of her yard. (The only thing is she doesn’t mow or edge herself- really!) IMPRESSIVE!
Geraniums & Petunias
6 x 13 prints $20

The front of the house was lined in hundreds of gorgeous red geraniums and petunias! From the first time I drove by her yard, this picture was in my mind. The blooms reminded me of musical notes of color. I love this painting!
The Corner Garden
10 x 13 prints $20
This was my first painting of the day. I loved the long purple flower stalks and lovely splashes of color bursting through a sea of lovely greens. The hues, tones and the values of the green ranged from sunny yellow green to shady purple green undertones.
Personally I am a new gardener. My goal is to have a yard full of edible flowers and veggies. We ate our first cucumber yesterday… We have 25 tomatoes planted, and enough peppers to fill a swimming pool of salsa this fall.
In a few years, with hard work maybe I’ll be painting my own garden with ‘Le Tour des Jardins”.
To purchase the prints – Please send an email to NotMyPlanet@Live.com with your selection- I will get back to you with follow up instructions.
I will be adding photographs of this garden.
