I painted this beautiful garden from the upper terrace of Frank's Italian Restaurant in Parkville.  The morning soon warmed up so much - no jackets were needed.  Wafting all around me was the delightful smell of garlic bread and italian sauces!  A few of the staff greeted me as I worked - and I was given a lovely tour of an upper room with a mural painted inside (by dear friend Cathy Kline).  Some plein air days are a magical painting adventure - and this was one of those days.  Everyone should enjoy such a day in the picturesque town of Parkville, MO.
