Courtyard Colors

A study in outdoor garden furniture...

I gathered the paints one day and set up an

impromtu still life in our courtyard paying no

regard to where physical objects started and stopped.

I simply overlapped and combined shapes trying to

come up with a pleasing composition. I like the way the

brick pattern came out and the glass of the table.

Every year we try to get some of the elephant ear tropical

plants. We mix them in with our other annuals and it always

amazes me how HUGE those leaves get and I love the way

the rain pools and collects inside the folds of its foliage.

The dark purple/black variety is especially lovely.
