Louise's pages in Sharon's heavenly Gardens Art Journal

It is lovely to have a page in out International Journal Swap to share with you all.

Sharon's theme of "Heavenly Gardens" had my mind conjuring lots of ideas and images- a medicinal herb garden, a cute cottage garden, a reflection pond or a very zen Japanese garden. I am a passionate garden and plant lover.

I settled though with a giant fig tree and some wilderness inspired back ground. I live in Australia and our nation is a relatively young one, so we have no really old structures but I live near some huge fig trees that are hundreds of years old and I love to be in their presence. It is with these gentle giants that I can feel time and marvel at their beauty, their mystery and magic.
