Kiltumper, Kilmihil, West Clare, Ireland

Christine's Garden by Doug Miller (dougmillerart.com)

Why didn't I think of this before?

 Posting Doug's beautiful painting which he painted one fine week in the summer of '09....

I just want to tell anybody who lands here that if you want a Giclee copy of this, contact Doug at his website .  I'm buying one!

For the record, this is how my garden looks -- well one aspect of it -- the old stone cabin window -- draped with an old fashioned rambling rose and astillbe and japanese anenome and filipendula.  Don't mind the weeds...
