Steps to the Garden

After a tough morning at the gym, I was ready to unwind.  With the temperature hovering 70, and an overcast, windless day, the conditions couldn't be better for  painting.  This garden had been on my mind, I even woke up thinking I would paint here this morning.  It is a cool, secluded garden, the stone path winding through in a poetic way.  Perennials and annuals newly planted, line the beds, and the steps lead to Margaret's Pond.  With birdsong and leaf rustle to serenade me, I spent a tranquil afternoon capturing this scene in oils.  Painting number 2333 in 2333 days.
