Such a relaxing creative process, painting the zinnia from a fresh bouquet here in my art studio.  As the late summer days began to feel more like autumn, I knew the first frost was closing in.  I would browse for nice full blooms and bring them in from my garden.  Never enough of these amazing color combinations for me!  My joy in gardening provides a bit of inspiration for new artwork.
