"Forgotten Gardens"

It's been 4 years to the day since my last post.  July 29th.  Ironically, the day of the death of Vincent van Gogh.  I did not plan that, I swear!

Starting today, I'm reviving this blog.... and an old dream with the same title as this blog. 

In 2009 and 2010, I was beginning my life as an artist, while at our home in rural Elbert County, Georgia, and I had an idea!  With the 3 acres we had, and the nice, LONG living room in the house with a wall of bookcases, and I thought, "What a cool Art Gallery/Consignment Shop/Used Bookstore this could be!!!"  I imagined a relaxing, park-like setting outside, with flower gardens and trees, and what an "Art Retreat" it could be.

This is part of why loosing that home, before even being able to try to bring that vision to life, was so devastating.  So, now, while living in what I call "Purgatory", and having no regular income, just what I make when I manage to sell a painting.... I am looking for a way to pursue this dream.

Any ideas, happy readers???
