Gardening, like painting, is a kind of meditation, and working in the garden or studio is grounding, and good for the soul. Everything you need to learn about the joy and harshness of life is here. Some landscapes are sacred places (and I won’t tell you where they are; find them for yourself). For me, there is nothing more magical than light on the water, the shifting monotones of the desert, the power and wisdom of trees, and nature’s wild and wacky palette. I sometimes use desiccated leaves and dried flowers in my art, and it pleases me that these are things I grow in my backyard.
