Garden Stars

Daylilies
acrylic, 5" by 7"


We're not in the greatest spot for growing any kind of garden. The soil here is almost pure sand, and there is lots of shade from the trees all around. So daylilies are a treasure - dozens of bright, showy flowers for minimal effort, not much watering needed, and if the grasshoppers take a huge chunk out of a bloom - well, tomorrow another will open.

Today's painting features just one of several varieties we enjoy all summer long.
