illustration friday: garden

Cycle 24"x 24"

Even though I still don't have access to my regular email I remembered to check the Illustration Friday website for this week's theme, just in case it tied into the painting I finished a week ago. Well, what do you know! If you look counter-clockwise around the sun symbol in the centre you'll see that this painting is about the cycle of seasons ~ and there are several garden elements included.

But so as to make my posting time do double-duty while technology (or lack thereof) hangs me out to dry, I thought I'd actually do a fun, easy meme that I saw at Kelly and Sylvain's blogs.
