A 'Hidden Garden' as Wrapped Art Canvas...

Make custom canvas prints

My drawing Hidden Garden looks rather at home as a wrapped Art Canvas, yes? I can see it in a child's room or a solarium room. They do still make solarium rooms, right? Or is the phrase too politically sensitive these days?

Creosote Blooming in Moonbeams

Here's a semi-completed close-up of my newest botanical drawing Creosote Blooming in Moonbeams drawn with my favorite oil and watercolour pencils on paper...moonbeams complimentary. If you can tell from this cropped little tidbit of an image, the style is my oft-used blend of Virgo-botanical and Pisces-visionary.

But just to be sure, why not mosey over and snag the fuller and finished version of this illustration? You'll find it right now in my 24/7 Art browsing place, Jude Cowell Art Shop @ Zazzle.

Or if you prefer, try a direct link to Creosote Blooming's

A little Jimson weed blooming in moonlight?

Primula vialli blooming in moonlight

On a hill far away grows a clump of Primula vialli blooming in the moonlight and it seems a pink flower fairy has dropped by!

Here's a lovely photo of the blooms, plus, the BBC's website has gardening tips advising you how best how to grow Primula vialli.

Nothing said about moonlight though...but here at Secret Moon Art, you're totally hooked up with the lovely Primula vialli!

Purple trillium, a botanical drawing

Here's a close-up of my drawing, Purple trillium and yes, I know trillium usually grow in clumps but I wanted my drawing to feature the little fellow in his own cosmically inspired portrait...fairy visitor is complimentary!

This drawing displays my usual and favorite artistic blend of real (flower) with imaginary (fairy and scenery) so if you speak astrologese, you'll know it's a Saturn/Neptune kind of thing. Right?

Have you an 'Evening Path' to take?

Have you an Evening Path to take beside a lake for goodness' sake?
As shadows lengthen will you pine perhaps recline near fairy's vine?

A primrose fair is nestled there to ease all care beyond compare
I'll leave a sign for you to find a breadcrumb rhyme along Life's line.
