The Flagstone Path
Oil on panel, 16x12
Overland Park Arboretum |
This is the second time I have painted this garden - the first a couple of years ago at the sunset paint. I painted this one early on one of those overcast days. The light was soft and this garden was so inviting. I had to stay on the stones, because everything was still so wet from the rain. This was painted mostly at one time, but I did go back and finish the blooms at a second visit. When painting gardens, I will lay in bloom color loosely, and then not return to them until the rest of the painting is done. I want the blooms to sit on top of the oils, like the jewels in a crown. This is the 151st painting in as many days.
