soul and purpose

"Through my paintings I hope to communicate a personal enthusiasm and respect for the natural world, thus encourage in others an active stewardship of same." -- JEANNE ILLENYE

This is the fourth cottage style painting for my client who recalls the gardens and nosegays of both her mother and grandmother.  It has been a sheer joy to help bring these memories to life again for her through my work.

Thank you SO much, Helene! The fourth of Nasturtiums is quite vibrant in the sunshine, and I was sure to include an ant to remind my client of how her mother would complain about them...although without them, no doubt she'd have no seeds for the following year! :o) It's a favorite of mine, too!
