Missouri Valley Impressionist Society hosted a paint-out today at the beautiful Powell Gardens. It has been 5 years since I have been there - and how it has changed! I remember when all the trees were small near the visitor center, and I could see most of the cement walkway as it circled the large pond. Now, all the trees are mature, and they create many "rooms" of various garden beauty. The lily pond was fabulous - and I already have paintings finished - in my mind! Another late posting - as I stayed out working in the flowers until dark. Painting number 177 in 177 days.
