Garden & Fence Art: Purple Loose Strife/Lupins

I have stated painting Garden and Fence Art. People seem to be spending a lot of time in their gardens or back yards (like me painting) and this seemed like a good idea to dress up those places.

All my Garden and Fence Art is on recycled plywood (my Dad had saved a lot of plywood in his garage from a construction site, saving it from the dump,.... he said it would be good for something someday... and he was right!) I am using exterior house paints that are mistints from the paint shops..... recycling again.

This painting is of purple loosestrife from pictures taken at Presqu'ile. It sort of looks like Lupins too. I have varnished it as well so it should endure the weather and it is now hanging on our fence for the season. I am painting several of them and they will be for sale on the Rednersville Road Art Tour ranging between $350 and $400. They are all approximately 3 ft. by 4 ft.

  1. The best way to keep rabbits away from your garden is to build a fence. You can also keep them at bay with natural fence. This is by far my favorite choice, not only a natural fence looks better, but you can eat it afterwards (as it is made out of vegetables they do not like). It also increases the yield from your garden.
