Barb's Garden, 1993

Barb's Garden, 1993, an original watercolor painting by Carolyn Lord.

I knew Barb because she attended our son’s home-birth and she invited me to paint her garden. I brought my art supplies, my 3 month old son, and a neighborhood friend who cared for my him. I could paint  and be available to nursing him. The eye-catching dahlias dominate the scene and I enjoyed including other details of Barb’s backyard: green plastic hose; well-fed cat, orange tree; and the compost pile by the back fence! - Carolyn Lord
