Lunch is served in Mark Twain's garden on my recent visit. Crumbly quiche and crisp salad devoured in a Martha Stewart 'eat your heart out' kinda delish way!
I feel I have done an o.k. job of painting 'Day Lilies' in the garden in the morning.
But I desire to paint a mixed arrangement of flowers in the afternoon, challenged that the flowers grow in seemingly 'same sex' floral garden borders, as glorious as they are!!
WHAT TO DO?
I have my answer. I notice my most gracious gifted artist hostess Susan Durkee http://www.susandurkee.com/ has a vase of combined CUT flowers from her most impressive Mark Twain garden http://www.thelobsterpotstudio.com/ in the kitchen window sill while watching her preen the quiche. I grab the vase, with her permission, and place it on a table outside. Susan even adds a few blue flowers for me, the perfect host that she is.

Johanna... I'm loving these !!!!
Johanna, I loved reading this enjoyable post. And well done on painting this so fast and with divided attention ( the quiche was calling you away, not so?)The end result was perfect! The blog as a whole has a very pleasant look too!
Thank you Marian and Marie
