Roadside Finds
"Picked by the roadside, wildflowers add charm to one's space."

I picked these wildflowers on my morning walk recently. Some would just regard them as weeds, but they are easily transformed into a delightful display when tucked into a pretty container.
While I was on my way home from my walk, I met my husband in his car and asked him to safely transport my finds home and place them in water. When I arrived he had tucked them into a little turquoise bottle that I love. Soooo instantly I knew I had to include the bottle top in my miniature painting. This little painting was painted from life on my back doorstep in the afternoon light.
I love exploring and finding subject matter when I am on my walks. It is fun to take my specimens home and paint them from life. Pretty soon I will be picking subjects that speak of autumn. Right now I am taking advantage of these last blooms before the growing season passes.
Do you like picking wildflowers? What do you like to display them in?
Wishing you a Wonderful Day!
Warmly,
Debbie
