"Green Thumb"
Little did I know that after watching my hired landscaper create his art with new plantings in my backyard, I would then see these new beginnings die! So I ended up researching plants, making my own purchases, and delighted with the appearance of new growth or blossoms.
This painting, the start of my Sprout! Series, was inspired by several of the species now growing in my yard. The rainbow of plants I used are not necessarily native to Arizona; but for the environmentally conscious, I do believe in xeriscaping!
