Another Watercolor Garden

Do you ever wonder why you choose to do some of the things you do?  Right now I'm wondering why I'm so drawn to gardens in watercolor.  Here is another one that I've recently finished and I have another started.
This one includes a few things I like, texture, colorful flowers and something man made.  Many years ago I took a short watercolor workshop from an artist I admired.  My work is nothing like his and I still love his work; however, something he said in that workshop stuck with me and I see it here.  He did gardens and always included some sort of pottery, garden gates or patio furniture.  His reason -- he liked the combination of God made and man made.  I like that too.
