But how I loved your sketchs, do you take pictures then paint them later, when you get home? I bought some of the dble sunflowers shown, they seem to be lasting longer than the other type.

The pom poms were my favourite flowers I think, the texture and pattern is incredible, the colour divine.

But I can't get excited about it. Don't know why except that perhaps the southern part of Australia is great for growing all those flowers. I have seen magnificent displays of dahlias here in the Botanical Gardens of the regional city of Ballarat that really so outshine those of Monet. Perhaps It's a total effect. Perhaps there are so many formal gardens in France (pruned conical firs/statues) that people are delighted to see a great example of an English-style garden. I wouldn't want to have to queue for hours to get in to see it, as can happen in the summer I hear. I adore the French countryside however , with its forests and stone houses and adorable places, and feel that I have been born in the wrong country!!

What a place, and your post do show your artistic response to this special place.<br /><br />I think that you found a fine time of the garden's season for your visit. I would think that such a place might also be quite inspirational as the calendar pages take it off season. (That's the way I feel about NYC's Shakespeare's Garden. <br /><br />Hoping that you and your sketchpad ... and if the weather stays warmish, your paint kit, might be making some more visits. Not just after hours, after season.<br /><br />Delicious feasts can be found not only in patisseries.<br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-48616460290337745732013-09-08T17:34:34.512-04:002013-09-08T17:34:34.512-04:00Great shots, that is really a place I wish I could...Great shots, that is really a place I wish I could get to!<br />Nikonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14271472315834976236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-40572058467044053632013-09-08T14:17:16.912-04:002013-09-08T14:17:16.912-04:00Yes, lots of dahlias in your post today.
