This year I'd like to show you more photography of our gardens and processes in regard to my paintings and designing fabric. This is my set up for plein air painting a series of watercolors in our gardens. I collect plants, propagate some of them, and am simply fascinated with horticulture. Pictured here are pink tree peony, fig, gladiolus murielae, oleander, agapanthus, lavender, blueberry, tulip, poppy, lily. My photograph was taken in May 2019. Reminding us of the miracle of spring into summer. I have a new painting available, introducing "

Some awesome news:
I was awarded 3rd place for my paintings at Beacon Hill Art Walk on June 2, 2019. We curated a selection of my paintings in a magical garden on historical Beacon Hill. I was right at home in the garden and was honored to be there. I met so many new and interesting people who were engaged with my work. Many of you came from different countries as well as the Boston area and it just makes me grateful to have had the pleasure to meet you. The fashion I observed that day - canary yellow tops, pulled off with ease. Men wearing red pants - unusual red with slight orange tone mixed in. John Lennon glasses. Pink glasses. I had a lot of fun seeing all of you. Thank you for purchasing my paintings! Summer is my favorite time to work on commissioned paintings - please contact Suzanne if you would like to discuss a project. Lead time is 4 weeks right now. Thank you for your support! I also want to let our new subscribers know that I am also a fabric designer with my paintings printed onto my fabrics as well as botanical drawings.

One of my daughter's birthdays is coming up. She is about to go off to college so I've been trying to do special things for her all week. Can you tell she will be missed? This is a present we wrapped for her in one of my first fabric designs applied to wrapping paper, "Tassel".
In the background is a watercolor painting I have completed for a commission project.

To have a garden and tend it yourself is to have a unique understanding of the world - no two gardens have the same feeling.
My husband and I dug our own gardens when we moved into our fixer upper when our second child was two. The first thing I did was plant a small garden by the back door to lift our spirits. We passed by the new plantings everyday and it encouraged us to make the rest of the yard look that beautiful. Right now I have pink peonies, lavender, hibiscus, sedum, and Russian sage. I try to plant fragrant plants on the chance that we might pick up on the fragrance while walking in the back door. This painting was done while in my yard. It shows some potted topiaries which I have a nice collection of. They are always interesting to grow. I have lavender topiaries, boxwood, and scented geranium. Most of my pots are terracotta. I collect various pots for planting in various sizes - it goes along with being a gardener. I usually transplant tropical species and keep them in pots all year long, keeping them in the house in the winter months. My camelia is just starting to blossom indoors and it will hopefully continue to blossom throughout January. The shiny foliage and blossoms are similar to a small double peony. I hope you enjoy this painting, prints will be available in the Verde Cosi shop soon. Follow my blog with Bloglovin
