840 Sidewalk Beauties
On my walk this morning I collected this lovely assortment of flowers growing in the cracks of the sidewalk. They are escapees from the James Bay Community Garden,which is now an active construction site for a condo development. I used to love painting in the Community Garden. It had an old fashioned feeling and everything I painted there reflected this. Pictured above are snap dragons, calendulas, shasta daisies, and purple loosestrife.

My favourite little glass bulb vase perished in my move last year and I have yet to find a replacement. Fingers crossed.
Tomorrow I'll be painting on the front lawn of the Empress Hotel. Hopefully the rain will clear up by then.

So now I'm back, unpacked, rested, and ready to paint. Yesterday was Canada Day and a friend gave me these lovely peachy pink roses. The turquoise cloth and mason jar are favourite props I've had for years.
