Afternoon Sun

A beautiful plum tree is the backdrop for a colorful backyard deck overflowing with fuchsia impatiens, purple salvia and yellow pansies in various pots. The family Golden Retriever, Rosie, relaxes in front of the table and chair set in the shade of the umbrella. In the background is a quaint white shed with window boxes filled with red impatiens and a festive summer flag. With all there is to see in this painting the smallest object is what captures your attention, the cobalt blue lantern hanging on the shepherds hook.
