Japanese Garden Illustration

Picture yourself taking a stroll through the Japanese Garden.  You pass by the Pagoda and enter the gate and see perfectly manicured blossoms, carefully raked rocks forming gentle waves.  Birds chirp and the breeze is calm.  The water fountain trickles and the koi fish below swim with delight.  The sun is here a little longer today.
Spring, right through the gates, at your beckon call.  I am so anxious for Spring, how about you?
I will be sharing some more of my illustrations for Spring and I hope you like this little Japanese Garden.  A garden tour awaits you.

    Anne-
    Thanks for your nice comment! Today it is chilly but the sun is up and the skies are blue and I am thinking of you!
    Tara-
    Thank you too -- yes, I will be anxious to see the first crocus, daffodil pop! When my son was tiny, he said,
    "look, it is yummy!" That is how I feel about Spring, Green and all that grows!

    Hmm, I am going to start some sort of campaign to have your work published in a book! Your work is so delicious, I just want to have all your illustrations framed on my wall! :-)

    Ah, there's a little something for you in my blog! ;-)

    Wishing Spring comes soon soon in CT, but the ground still has snow on it!!

    Lovely! It makes me think of Kyoto, where I was lucky enough to travel to a few years ago.

    Thanks to each of you who are anxious for Spring.
    Mary-Laure, funny - this was inspired from my trips to Japan and Kyoto - where I visited the loveliest garden and attended a tea ceremony.
    I know how much you love tea!
    more about Spring and Tea.... soon!
