Today finds me painting in one of my favorite gardens - the Rose Garden at Loose Park! The morning was absolutely beautiful as I starting laying down paint. Many hands were grooming the roses, as other worker bees buzzed around the garden. When I noticed several workers standing near the fountain, I thought I'd better start getting the fountain in. Sure enough, it was turned off for a little work. This often happens en plein air. A boat sails away, an animal flees the scene, lights are turned out, or a fountain gets shut down. When this happens, I move to another section of the painting, waiting for the return of my subject. Animals will return again and again in a rhythmic fashion. In the case of boats, I normally see the bustle around the boat - and start painting like crazy! The fountain came back on, and off again two other times - and I finally got it done! Painting number 1710 in 1710 days.
