Front yard, back yard.
In our front yard, every July like
clockwork, grows the largest concentrations of "tiger lilies" known
to anyone upon the North Eastern portion of the USA. This cluster happened as
I've planted and re-planted these flexible beauties and paint them (twice now)
when I get a chance. This effort dated 7/21/96 was a great time as people
stopped by, we talked and I painted, and finished this in my studio a few days
later.
Tiger
Lilies in my front yard (7/21/96)
Pretty soon, most likely in a year or so,
we'll be moving from Rugby Avenue to the place where we'll retire. The painting
of the backyard at Rugby was done on a fine, beautiful day in September and is
one of several of the yard, and general Rugby "thing". It also shows
the sun flowers we planted from Marylou that took most of the season to grow,
but when they did they grew six or seven feet tall. The most powerful flowers
in the garden, by far. Here's to Rugby.
Thanks
Marylou
