I had a perfect spot in the shade of an old crabapple, in the rock path herb garden from which to paint. A cool breeze came across the lake, refreshing as the day warmed up. Walkers along the path visited before moving on, and it was a joy to paint while surrounded with the sights and fragrance of the garden. I do love painting here at the Overland Park Arboretum, and I wish I could paint here more. This is a peaceful, thoughtful place to spend immersed in flowers and paint. I plan to submit this one to the Rice Gallery, along with a couple more yet unpainted! Painting number in days.
