I am back from a wonderful and inspiring weekend up at the cottage and I bring you some zinnias I worked on for the Summer of Colour week 3.....When I was growing up my Parents had a huge vegetable garden and every year my Mom would put in a huge row of Zinnias....one of my favorite summertime flowers....these babies grow in all sorts of colours and I love the way they look and smile at you.....these flowers are something I always added to my very own vegetable garden every year....but this year I didn't plant any....and I am missing them already....so I thought I would draw some to remember them....
Next year I will have to sow some seeds of these pretties....
Sharing these with all of my friends in blog land today!!!
Happy Monday and Happy Creating Everyone....

Beautiful drawing!!! All those petals!! Zinnias remind me of summer too! I didn't get any this year- and I am going to really miss them in August- when they were usually in full bloom when other flowers were struggling...

Tes zinnias sont merveilleux... Ils sentent bon l'été.
ReplyDeleteHier en fin d'après-midi, après avoir bien travaillé à l'atelier, je suis allée me promener avec mon appareil photo. J'ai photographié un zinnia je crois ! Je connais mal le nom des fleurs...
Je te l'envoie...
Je te fais de gros bisous.
very very refreshing and a true feast to the eyes!
ReplyDeleteThey are such pretty, happy flowers and I love your take on them - the colours are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting, Diana. I wonder if Zinnia and Dahlias are the same flowers :).

ReplyDeleteI love Zinnias, too, Diana and the sweet memories of your parents garden. My mom has always had them in her garden, too, and dotted about the yard. Thanks for sharing some of their beauty with us through your amazing drawing...so pretty!! The cottage sounds like the perfect spot to fuel your inspiration!! Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful - I can't figure out how you get the look that you do, but I love it. And I love zinnias, so simple and sweet and summery...
