Plein air painting is about the people and places we meet along the way. Over 50 summers bloom in this garden. It has been tended with loving care, each plant thriving and bursting with color, unique and as bright as life. (I'm an avid gardener, too). These poppies have special meaning for many reasons, but to me, at this moment, they represent the heart of love: bold, colorful, inquisitive, ever-growing and expanding.
