Gardening



What a nice morning to work outside in my garden. I finally took an hour and pruned and cleaned up a few of my flower beds. This picture is of a rose that I have in my front yard garden. I took this photo last year while the bush was in bloom.


I love to garden. I love the outdoors. I guess that is why I gravitate to things of nature in my photography and art. Working in my garden and taking pictures of the beauty that comes from the work that I put into my garden are two of my favorite things. Outside you can fill your senses with the awesomeness of God's creations. My senses are more alive outside....see the delicate complexity of nature....feel the texture of the soil and the breeze on your skin....smell the fragrant freshness of the floral perfumed air.....hear the symphony of the birds singing.

The spring is my favorite time of year and at this time I'd rather be outside than in.

Daisy

This is the first day in days that I have posted to my blog. I haven't been feeling well and my creativity has been low. This health problem is an ongoing problem of pain that the doctors are not helping and it has finally taken a toll on my overall being. If anyone out there is experiencing the same symptoms, I would love to hear from you, because obviously the doctors are doing nothing to help. They claim it's fibromyalgia, costocondritis, and reflux....I think differently! Nothing is helping and the pain in my chest and throat is getting worse and more constant....everyday now! I am generally an upbeat and optomistic person, but this is wearing me down. I am trying to push myself to work, but it's not easy. I am making another attempt at using herbs ....stinging nettle and ginger.....anyone else have any suggestions.

Well onto my art for the day.....this is a photo of a daisy from my garden....they are beautiful....white on top and purple underneath. I will be adding this to the "Garden of Delights"....here are the links.....

Green is my Garden


This is a mixed media painting that I finished about a month ago. I'm getting ready to put it on consignment in a shop in Columbus Ohio. It is 12x24 on deep edge canvas. It is done with acrylic paints, oil pastels, and a collaging technique.

New Blog due to technical difficulties!

Well, I used to have a blog at....... http://genesisartstudio.blogspot.com/
and it's still there, but I can no longer sign into it because I made the silly mistake of signing up for another gmail account under a different username with Google. When I did that something went seriously wrong with my regular account. I can no longer get into my old blogger, which not only had my old blog, but my access to several other group blogs that I was involved in.
After many attempts to straighten it out, I just give up!!!! You won, Google!!!!!

Anyway, I'm Eva Barkman....a multi-media artist and photographer from Northeast Ohio.
I do mixed media paintings and digital art and photography. I also do anything artsy and even crafty....I just love to create things. I sell my art & photography online on several venues and also in galleries and shows nationwide.

I'm going to try and give this daily art blogging a try. So for today, I'm posting one of my orchid pictures that has been photomanipulated on a digital art program. It is one of many floral art pictures that I have in a Digital Flower Garden at.....
