How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.
English Nursery Rhyme
I know I haven't shared this, but I've been very busy painting and creating. I finished another piece a week ago but I wanted to wait until my friend received it before I showed it on my blog or anywhere else on the internet. Marybeth requested I make an art girl representing "her" with short blond hair. She wanted some aqua, coral, yellow and anything else that might be Caribbean looking . She also had the phrase all picked out, but other than that I could do whatever my heart desired. Because I added flowers and there's a window in the background, I decided to name it "How does your garden grow?" after the nursery rhyme...
The drawing above was created by William Wallace Denslow (1856-1915). I think today's gardeners look just a tad different. Here's my version for my friend that I just sent to her...
I forgot to take photos of the edges of the canvas before I sent it off, but it really doesn't matter, because prints can only be made from the front portion that you see. Yes, I will be selling prints of these, as soon as I get them listed in my Etsy shop. I'd love to hear what you think of this? I love it!!


I LOVE this Carol - great job!
