I love gardens
in all seasons; a little chaos - tomatoes under the tangle, kale in the fog. Nature has her way of getting the upper hand, certainly by October. The gardener is no doubt sealing up those last quarts of sauce in the steamy kitchen.
This is
one of a series of 24 x 30 pastels; three autumn gardens, one winter
garden that I have been working on lately. Please leave a comment. I'd
like to know what you think.

Gardens in the Off Season
I love gardens in all seasons; blanketed under snow in winter, after the ripeness of summer and before the new shoots of spring. Their structure can be loose or geometric, their fences shabby, sparrows on the bean poles. It is all redolent of growth, sunshine, fertility....really good earth!
This is Number Seven, one of a series of 24 x 30 pastels; 3 autumn gardens , one winter garden that I have been working on lately. Please leave a comment. I'd like to know what you think.
