I received my first seed catalog last week. I'm certainly only an amateur gardener, and I seldom order from catalogues. But receiving the first reminder of what's to come from a snow covered mailbox that sits out in the 5° weather is a perennial delight this time of year. This painting of "Forgotten Garden IV" is one of my favorites. In fact I liked it so much that I had prints made of it. At the time I painted this piece, it was more of a metaphor. However, this time of year it takes on tangible meaning for me, and another little sign and reminder of spring.

I am the very lucky owner of Forgotten Garden I. Every morning, quite early, I have some peaceful time by myself. Forgotten Garden, on the opposite wall from my armchair graces this special part of the day for me. Its colors, the edgeless shapes, patterns, that mysterious deep blue part in the middle are things my eyes love to rest on. This forgotten garden is both image and metaphor to me. I have a little placque from the sixties that says, "There is a secret meaning behind all things." Pat, your paintings say that to me. Thank you!
