Portrait of a gardener

I pulled out my sketch pad and started drawing, while looking out the window at all the snow. What sort of garden drawing does snow inspire? Well, as I drew and thought, I realized: Mostly, I'm dreaming about spring. I'm dreaming about May... So I drew a picture of Hortense Hoelove, (aka Carol) in the snow, with her hoe, dreaming of May.



Happy dreaming everyone!

    Wow, I'm flattered! It's pretty good, too, except I almost always where green. But I did wear a purple sweater the other day. Thanks for the great drawing!
