Colored Pencil Sketch of mine

Yesterday was the Annual Garden Tour put on by the Master Gardeners and the Cody Country Art League. There were 6 gardens and each had a couple of artists painting and a master gardener to answer questions. Was a really nice day. Berna Ost and I were in the same garden. We each did a small bird house that were hanging on the fence around the garden. Mine is done in colored pencil on mat board. It was framed and auctioned at the sale after the tour. This was my 5th year and what beautiful gardens we get to go to. Always look forward to going each year.
