Of Memories and Roses
Oil on panel, 9x12
Deanna Rose Farm, Memory Bench |
The rain poured heavy this morning, allowing me to get some housework finished. As the skies cleared a little, I packed my gear and headed to the Deanna Rose Children's Farmstead. Much to my surprise - there was very little traffic here today, making it the ideal day to get a little painting done. The last time I was here, it was so crowded that it was hard to keep my focus. Not so today. I was also able to park in the east lot, which meant I didn't have to carry my gear all the way back there - about as far from the front gate as possible. I worked in the deep shade, quickly laying this scene to canvas. It is a memorial bench dated from 1991, and the rose is so lovely and heavy with bloom. I have a weakness for roses on arbors - so here I have painted yet another. I am posting a bit sooner than normal, as I am headed out to paint another nocturne. I sure hope the weather cooperates! This is painting number 148 in 148 days.
