The morning was clear, and the early morning sun was streaking across the scene. 

This woman (Clare) lovingly tends this public flower garden in the park.  For the pleasure of all, she creates outdoor wildflower arrangements in a simple brown vase.  The studio painting completed on Jan 20, 2007, "Log Cabin Arrangement", captures one of Clare's arrangements.  I was inspired to capture the action of harvesting cut flowers, one of life's simple pleasures.
