Pomme d'Amour: Garden Art: A work completed

Jul 01, 2008 - With most of our major projects now complete, my husband and I have been spending quite a lot of time on our patio and he's been continuing to encourage me to add another piece of artwork to the set, telling me that the space between our storage fridge and the grill "seems a bit too bare". After due consideration I agreed with him and we've been discussing the theme of the painting over the course of the last few days. Given that the primary use of the space is to be an outdoor dining room and entertainment area, I thought that a still life of vegetables and fruit might be the most appropriate and that the subject would balance well with The Farmer's Wife privacy screen. - 28 Comments

Pluckin' Joyful: Garden Art: Complete

Jun 23, 2008 - If you've been following along in the VAFF or Su Casa groups, you already know that my husband and I have been actively engaged in a HUGE Garden and Patio Makeover project. Part of the Patio Project included creating a privacy screen, cut down to 6' wide by 4' high, from an 8' x 4' sheet of plywood. That 4' by 2' piece has now been put to work and used as a substrate for additional garden art, mountd on the wall of the work shed that my husband built in the summer of 2007. - 16 Comments
