Garden at the Lodge

Finding a lovely garden at the entry to the Willmore Lodge was a special treat!  I wanted to capture the beauty of the place with my focus on the blooms, as the grand Lodge stood in the background.  I had to sketch this out from a lower vantage to get this composition before adding color to the masses.  It was probably pretty funny to watch me so 500 squats to achieve this in process! It was a lovely afternoon spent in the garden, and this painting was awarded the Liz Kahrs Memorial Award, a ribbon, and found a new home, too!  Painting number 4303 in 4303 days.
