Summer at Longwood

Took the day off on Monday for a trip to Longwood Gardens. Thought I would share a few pictures…

Got an old stump? I think this is a great idea for a birdbath. Seemed well received by the Longwood bird residents too!

My favorite of Longwood’s summer displays are the water lilies – hands down. So many gorgeous dragonflies to look at too.

One of my favorite new flowers (new to me that is) – Throatwort. I think that I am not in the right zone to grow this though. Maybe as an annual?

Another favorite I hadn’t heard of before, Showy Hebe. I just adore purples and blues in the garden…

Favorite Artist – Ann Garlough

Today’s artist is also a good friend, Ann Garlough from Fort Worth, Texas.

Ann has been painting beautiful horse portraits for more than thirty years. Her portraits are well known and well received among Western art lovers throughout the world. She has also developed a special following among Appaloosa horse owners.

But she also paints canine portraits, landscapes and small format art with equal confidence.

Her Story Teller Series is based on the philosophy that the best artwork is not only beautiful, it tells a story. King of His Domain (shown above) is only the first in that series.

Ann also has an interest in artists materials equal to her interest in and love of painting. She is the artist who introduced me to Artfix Belgian linen and Raphael linen, as well as providing information on the finer points of canvas stretching, light fastness in pigments and a world of technical knowledge that I had previously not been acquainted with.

Ann does a few shows each year, including the Appaloosa World Show.

If you have the time today to enjoy some beautiful paintings, visit Ann’s web site. You might also be interested in signing up for her studio E-letter to find out where she will be in so you can see her work in person.
