Fab Flowers

Summer flowers bring lovely colour throughout summer. I do love flowers - all year long!

Egretta, our fellow blogger and person who inspired me to start blogging, has just set up a new online gallery of her amazing floral paintings and fine art. Such beauties! If you'd like to have a look, her online gallery is located at:

  2. So we can have virtual flowers all year round now...
    Hollyhocks are beautiful - so evocative of the English Cottage Garden.

  3. Thanks Kelli, for posting my Hollyhock painting and for telling everyone about my new online gallery! Mark, that is true, when it begins to be bad weather, we can see flowers all year in my gallery! Egretta

  4. I am glad that you posted Egretta's web site for her beautiful paintings, so she posted it on her last post, but Blogger did a funky blogger thing and it didn't show up. Aren't her paintings simply wonderful!
