Today I went out and bought herbs for my patio. I don't get very much direct sun so I'm not sure how some of them will do. I grew basil and rosemary last year and they did fine, so I planted them again as well as curly parsley and dill. Of course I made a mess and there was soil all over. lol
The pots will sit on the railing of my patio with the flower boxes filled with impatients.
All I know is the basil already smells so good!
Such an inviting, "gardeny" painting! I hope you have a bumper crop!
ReplyDeletePerfect. I love the smell of growing basil. I can't seem to keep it alive in pots. What is that sparkly blue on the sides and shadow? Love it.
ReplyDeleteLOL I took a photo while the shadow was still wet. That is the flash reflected in the damp paint.
DeleteJoan - try mint - it likes moist conditions and doesn't mind shade. I love herbs too!
ReplyDeleteI love the impressionistic feel of your watercolor. Blessings!
ReplyDeletewow herbs are one of my fave and you draw them so well! what is the glittery thing? I hope to plant some soon!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully composed sketch, makes me long to plant some herbs, especially basil. I like to have some on my kitchen window sill, and the smell is so gorgeous. I hope they all do well for you.
ReplyDeletebeautiful illustration! Our neighbor does the garden and planting since she knows what she's doing. Hubby and I help by tilling and caring for our shared vegetable and herb garden :)
ReplyDeleteHubby just planted my inside flowers ten minutes ago Joan. My the misquotes were thick today out there.
ReplyDeleteYour sketch is so real like. Love it.
Thanks everyone. I have more planted in pots and window boxes this year than ever before. I hope they do well.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so familiar to me. Just made the same job. Hopefully we will get a beautiful blooming too!
