CHRISTMAS in my Art Studio

Actually………..it is Christmas all year long………..

BUY your POT at the YMCA

The pottery class at the 63rd street Y is having a POTTERY SALE.  It is never to early to stock up on Christmas gifts.

DOORWAY at the Y

 

These are the 5 pieces I couldn’t resist…………

The BOTANICAL PRINTS in the background are from the            BOTANICUM book.

This pot now holds my TRADER JOE’S peanut butter pretzels.

The jelly fish platter awaits figs from my terrace garden.

I don’t need another coffee mug…………but I never have enough flower vases.

This ceramic tile will be used as a trivet for my “hot” dishes.

Now I have to figure out how to fit all my new pots onto the “coffee” table.

 

VEGGIES at the FARMERS MARKET • nyc

These are the FARMERS that I depend on for my fresh produce………[my parents were farmers so I know what back breaking work it is to grow and gather and cart it to market].

I appreciate all of their hard work.

TOMATILLOS

I turn those green tomatillos into a unique SALSA.

FOOD AND WHISKEY at the Farmer’s Market

Every Sundar morning I get my fresh cheese……….bread………pickles…….duck………chicken sausage………and herbal ice tea…………at the local FARMER’S MARKET

 

 

 

And my Nursery guy Chris…….loves the muffins.

JAPANESE ANEMONE on my Terrace

This summer heatwave is not kind to my terrace garden.  All my plants are in pots…………and they dry out so quickly.

My Japanese Anemone has survived.

I did a watercolor of the flowers this afternoon.

 

COMMUNITY GARDENS in Manhattan

This gallery contains 8 photos.

WEST SIDE COMMUNITY GARDEN

This delightful community garden is on the UPPER WEST SIDE of Manhttan.  Established by volunteers……….and maintained daily by volunteers.  I have donated 200 tulips and I love the Spring time when they bloom.

You can sit…..rest……read……bring the kids…….and have a picnic……..or just SMELL THE ROSES.

Movies in the evening and free concerts on the week-ends.
