Welcome to my Water Garden Painting web log. Inspiration for this work comes from visits to the Lotus Gardens at the Chicago Botanical Garden, the Water Gardens at the PepsiCo headquarters in New York,and the Rosenberg Gardens in Coppenhagen; all wondefully soothing places to observe,draw,and paint. I am always delighted and amazed at the wondrous teeming life I see and hear. It is my pleasure to share the poetry of nature with viewers while creating images that are calming and contempletive.
