Summertime





It's hot and sweaty in the city and the plum trees are relentlessly dense with burgundy leaves. I began with a study in dark burgundy which morphed into a purple and magenta story. It made me think of Billy Holiday, all bruised, sleepy eyed and woozy- where blood and tears collide and the mood is dark and saturated with longing and foreboding shadows but not without hints of innocence and fragility.

Plum Crazy!

Arrangement of Early Summer Plum Branches, Chippendale Garden Roses, Peonies and Begonias

Rainy days don't get me down. I spent the day cleaning the studio and finally making this arrangement to share with you. Flowers are so pretty in the rain. These were placed on the fire escape while the water pattered down on it. It looked like a micro garden. Speaking of which, I just got a call from The Brooklyn Queens Land Trust and I have the official go ahead to start tending a local community garden which has been neglected!!!
Yippeee.
Yes Sirree!
HELLO
Northside Garden!
A lovely patch of land run by the BQLT on N5th St and Driggs. This rain should make weeding much easier and satifying!!
The new chapter begins......
