Flowers from my garden

Happy July 4th to the Americans!

Sharing some flowers from my garden with you today, these photos were taken on June 25-26. I cut a few pictured in the vase below.  It seems everything has started blooming.  The neighbour's honeysuckle bush has started flowering and it peeks over from our shared fence.  I guess we can call it a shared honeysuckle. the blossoms smell wonderful.

Paint Party Friday - Columbine

This piece for Paint Party Friday was inspired by a photo taken by Kay on her blog. I had never seen columbines in those colours as the ones in my garden are yellow and don't look two-toned really. She took the photo during a family tour to Japan. My lavender version is on good quality textured cardstock (6" x 6") in acrylic.  Thanks Kay for letting me use your photo.
