"The Things that I Need"

"The Things that I Need" By C Caton, June 2012

I've just completed this one, and also a poem to go with it -

"The Things that I Need"

These are the things that I need today -

A sturdy roof and a place to play.

A plot of clear ground and some seeds to sow,

Then the time to sit back and watch them grow.

A swing in the tree for hours of fun,

To relax and unwind when my work's all done.

These are the things that I need today -

And it's all right here, so here I'll stay!

A Walk in the Park

"A Walk in the Park" -  Everything is green and in its finest Spring form, with  that special "glow" that you encounter every now and then - usually right before or right after a spring storm - with the sky is a darker, more ominous blue.  My favorite time to go out and about - after the storm has passed, of course! 

Just completed, March 2012.   SOLD

Come into the Garden

"Come into the Garden" - Pretty and peaceful garden scene - full of two of my most favorite things in this world - flowers and trees! There's even a comfortable chair tucked into the back corner just waiting for you. Completed and sold, 2011

Many of the flowers in this one were painted with toothpicks, as at the time I had very few smaller brushes, and couldn't seem to find one that suited me. I do have more brushes now, but I still keep a box of toothpicks nearby (new, unused ones, of course) just in case the need arises.
