Gardening Art
“Gardening” original acrylic/watercolor painting on rag board sold, mini prints signed by the artist are available.
Another original painting from my series of rural Alaska cabins and flowers, this one includes part of a well-tended vegetable garden which is a staple in most yards. The biggest threat to any garden, in the wilderness or city alike, are moose who stomp, trample, and eat most everything in sight. For some reason they don’t seem to like the leafy tops of potato plants.
More tomorrow,

very pretty! I always think og snow when I think of Alaska though people from Alaska tell me there are seasons there. I understand the mosquitoes get to be the size of poodles there in the gardening areas of Alaska?!

Hey Ascender, Hello!
Yes, one of the problems with gardening in Alaska is mosquitoes. We use a contraption that runs on propane called the Mosquito Magnet that traps them pretty well
. We are in the middle of planting this weekend we have long days of daylight now, good for growing.
Thanks,
Gail
