Is that a giant flagstone or giant stump on your walkway?

The colors are super velvety. I always love illustrators that make me appreciate colors that almost make me want to rub the paper, even though I know it is smooth, as crazy as that sounds. The artist also

Yeah I agree about the uneven glaze looking better. As with gemstone, the ones with imperfections under the surface end up far more interesting and rare. Mint is ridiculously easy to transplant and propagate

Nice idea. I will have to remember to offer to housesit for him next Spring, when his blueberries flower.

Such a fun illustrative style you have developed. It really maximizes the colors the way you use the gouache with pencil. Ever seen the old Flintstones cartoons? Your plants would fit right in with the

Especially with some fruits that come in many different varieties, it really matters to find out which varieties are needed for it pollinate. Most blueberries fortunately, I think tend to flower close

Planting more varieties of blueberries has been proven to improve yield, as it aids in pollinating the flowers better. Always glad to see a well kept garden showing signs of fertility in Spring.

I can see a butterfly, dragonflies, and other flying insects near a pond area with water flowers. In the past we used to play this game too. We called it Doodle. I usually start out with far fewer lines

It is not effective in extreme cases. Activists sometimes end up causing more pollution (traffic, garbage from protesters) or expensive damage to property or violence. Is is especially cringeworthy when

Excellent photos! This castle, I don't think I have ever seen it in tv or movies. A real gem. The sky was doing some amazing designs, and I appreciate that you picked up on that and even included some

Thanks for the insights. Today the neighbor kids are playing with the dog in his yard, and is bounding with joy. The dog has dark fur color pattern of the Old German Herding Dog. Longer hair and white

Welcome back @ganjafarmer. Can you offer me some advice, as you are somebody I witness as an expert on balancing dog love and responsible pet management? My neighbor has a sheep dog variety, and I am worried

That tree caught my eye too. It definitely tells a story as the eye wanders from the mossy roots up the fungus covered log, past the woodpecker's hole, and finally around the cut mark where a new branch

Historically, fertility was at the center of every major religion and culture. Smaller populations and lower technology meant crops and livestock were more precious forms of food. The mythology was taught

Love the Jacaranda tree species. Very fortunate that you live somewhere they thrive. Your collection has become quite a forest.

This is one of the best ones I have seen. Excellent design talents and solid color scheme choices.
