Hi Everyone!
I hope your week has been a good one and all of you are safe. This AM I worked in my garden then had to come in because of the @%^&#$% wind. (You can use your imagination of what my potty mouth just said. LOL) The wind is relentless here.
Anyway, I went to my art room to float away in some kind of abstractness. This is what I painted. When I was done I thought that this is my abstract forest.
I created this piece for Rains TAD. The prompt is "Your Dream" You can see the post here
I also wanted to share some photos of my garden. I am so happy with it.
In Florence most yards go dormant in summer. The soil is sand and it would cost a fortune to keep it watered. That is the main reason for the garden in containers. Bad sand soil.
These are in my yard. I have more more more on my deck.
These are all companion plants growing healthy.
I already have squash blossoms.
Potatoes growing in a canvas bag.
This is a large bowl of lettuce and baby spinach from my garden. The lettuce is full of flavor.
It is a wonder anything grows with the wind we have here. Every day I have to cover all my plants to protect them from this.
I am linking up with Paint Party Friday and the lovely Eva and Kristen who host every week.

Lovely piece, happy PPF, have a great weekend, Valerie
Love both your paintings. Your plants are looking great! You get a lot of wind, we do in winter. Enjoy your weekend.
Your wind-description sure is creative :-)
As is your art!
OK, out now to plant peppermint and stuff. Let´s see how that goes...
These are two very nice abstract pictures I like the colors. Nice what they have bred and can already eat. The wind is strong whistling around the houses!
All the best and take care of yourself in the weather!
Greetings Elke
Happy PPF Nicole
much love...
Your abstract work is fabulous! I also see forest, and a ton of other things! 😄
Wonderful abstracts. Thanks for sharing your growing garden photos, Nicole.
Happy weekend, stay safe xx
Love your works! The abstract forest is wonderful! Have a great weekend.
Love both your abstract forest and the dream one too! Good that you can still grow flowers and veggies albeit in containers...and that wind - oh my...happy PPF!
Love both your paintings!
Great abstracts and great that you are growing things.
that wind! Same here in Aurora CO, it blows entire grills off patios! Your art is always uplifting!
Those are both so beautiful. I love abstracts, the best of them capture emotions wonderfully. Our garden is a mess this year. I don't know if we'll grow any produce this year...
wonderful expressive artwork and delightful garden ~ ^_^

Interesting artworks. I like the colours in the first one especially. I find gardening pictures very refreshing. :)
Beautiful art Nicole! Lovely to see you are reaping the rewards of your hard work in the garden too.
It's been cold, wet and windy here today, but the gardens need the rain. My tortoises think Winter is back, they've been sleeping most of the day!
Hope you're having a good weekend,
Alison xx
I like your abstract forest. But see it a bit more like a wet forest with some reflections in it :)
Take care :)
