Plein Air Season!

I painted these two 9x12s on location at the Memphis Botanic Garden last weekend with some of my fellow plein air painting friends. The weather couldn't have been better. There is really nothing more enjoyable for me as an artist than painting outdoors on a beautiful day! Hope I get out there a few more times before the suppressing heat begins.

This one was painted from a photo I took on a trip a couple years ago to upstate NY where my husband is from. Tried to pretend I was painting outside, but it wasn't the same!
