The morning was cool and rain threatened. With a few free hours for painting, Michaela and I headed to the arboretum. This is the scene I picked out for the quick paint, and today I painted it! These blooms are among my favorites, and I love capturing them in oils! In fact, I'm thinking of getting experimental with them later in the week! Perhaps some acrylics with a little molding paste! Before I had gotten the surface covered wth paint - the clouds broke open! I picked my easel up and walked to the front porch of a shed for cover. Once I got that paint down, I could return to my spot with no worries. The rain had let up, and I was able to finish and head to my painting class. Michaela finished a beautiful pen and ink climbing rose and filled it in with watercolor. So nice to share my painting adventure with my daughter! Painting number 1594 in 1594 days.
