Pacific Northwest Artwork
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008Today’s featured art gallery is StudioByTheSound by Kathy Johnson.
Colorful artwork with landscapes, gardens, flowers, and vegetables. Wonderful scenes from the area of Seattle, Washington, and the Pacific Northwest.
As a gardener… I really enjoy the pretty flowers and garden plants, plus the veggies from Pike Place Market are a perfect complement to spring and thoughts of getting the garden started.
