A gardener is drawn to a flower market like a kid to a candy store. Just the sight of flourishing blossoms can put a long winter in the past. The flower wagon gardener in this scene is getting ready to go out for a day of making our summer dreams come true. With its variety of beautiful colors, textures, shapes and fragrances, there is nothing like a bounty of flowers to lift one’s spirits.

“The excitement of selecting and planning exactly what I want, and where I want to plant, makes me happy,” says artist Paul Landry, “and my green thumbs start itching to get started as soon as possible.”

Landry’s own love of gardening is the artist’s inspiration for his colorful flower paintings. Radiant with hues and warm with nostalgic ambiance, Landry’s images tenderly wed flowers with our universal fond memories of the season. Rainbow Gardens is an open invitation to visit often and sample the market’s many delights. And if Aunt Martha is baking that day, you’ll enjoy an additional treat!
