The cannas are putting on a show at the Kauffman Memorial Garden, and I am happy to paint it with a few artist friends today! Taking a break from framing artwork for an upcoming show, I just couldn't resist the chance to paint here again. I've not seen the cannas blooming here before - and they grabbed my attention immediately. I dreaded seeing the entrance with the stately old trees removed, but found the area charming, with a replanting of my favorite redbud trees in their place. Flanked by rows of vivid blooms, the space really was much improved. The music of the fountain had me longing to repair my own. I didn't realize how much I miss the trickling water. In this canna bed were white narrow leaf zinnias which looked like daisies, starclusters, and tropical milkweed - three flowers I couldn't identify without Google lens! I LOVE learning something new while out painting something I love! Painting number 4990 in 4990 days.
