Organic Seed Growers & Trade Association v. Monsanto

Please read this ARTICLE and pass it on or repost it. I am grieved that we are already losing precious heirloom seeds because they are wiped to extinction by America's mega-corporation. Please don't let it happen. I am so glad 270,000 Organic Farmers are taking a stand against Monsanto; let's support them any way we can! 

50 Projects: 52 Weeks (18. Ainsley's Blossom)

Happy Golden Birthday, Ainsley Truth Dudek!

Steve and I got to celebrate our dear friends' baby girl's first birthday this past weekend in Estes Park. The sun came out along the drive up and it was a gorgeous day for a celebration. 

Jen always wanted a painting and I could think of nothing better than a beautiful rose. I took inspiration from a photo I took in New Zealand at the Hamilton Gardens. 

I had a blast painting this one afternoon and I'd definitely do it again!
