Botanical art forum?

Acton, CA(Zone 8b)

Perhaps, for those who paint, draw, do pastel, etch, sketch etc... a forum to share a few ideas and photos? We have just about every other art forum but this one.

Wouldn't this fall under the "Garden Art" forum? I've seen a number of garden-oriented painting/artistic endeavors posted there.

That's beautiful, Palmbob. I would think Garden Art, too, though I think the name brings to mind outdoor garden decor more than paintings and other depictions of gardens.

"Art" can mean different things to different people. Some might want to look for it in the Crafts Forum. Some might want to place it with Leisurely Pursuits, since that's where Photos and Photograpy Forums are. Even Home Decorating would be appropriate for some pieces. I think it all depends on how serious one is about it.

But to me, Garden Art means art for the garden, as Gardenwife put it. Someone who is a true artist, like yourself apparently, palmbob, would like to showcase their artwork in a more "indoor" type way.

That painting is spectacular.

I have to agree: Garden Art is art IN the garden, not OF the garden. And the crafts section doesnt fit this category well, though it would be a good place to add it. Leisurly pursuits would be OK, except that many do are NOT for leisure, but for a living. THought this would be a good place to combine all that.
