| 2005 June Afternoon in an Irvington Garden I had the pleasure, Sunday, June 26th, to spend the afternoon painting in a lovely garden with a century-old home on South Audubon Road. Sitting at a little wooden table my grandfather made for my mother as a child, I felt I was painting in an earlier time; the simplicity and charm of the house, garden, and event itself- an old fashioned garden tour in a turn-of-the-century neighborhood- was inspiring to the soul. Throughout the day, vistors came and went, commenting on the peace and tranquility of the shady backyard setting, with its hosta, bright reddish-rose caladium, pond, and old fashioned swing. I noticed as I painted the nice feeling of neighborliness, which seems to come with living in Irvington... I wouild like to thank the Irvington Garden Club for inviting me to paint; every brush stroke was painted on site and I hope I in some way captured the charm of this Irvington garden as well as the warmth of its owner, who told me, "This is where I come each day to be with God."
