| In a fit of having no
idea where to paint one beautiful day this summer, I called my
studiomate to see if she had any good ideas for an afternoon of plein
air painting. We both yearned for something pretty, not industrial, that
day. She decided on this gorgeous garden, which is a few blocks from
where she lives in Carroll Gardens. When I got there she had already
started, and I had my "Eureka" moment of inspiration. It took
several visits to complete, which became a bit of a challenge because I
let a lot of time go by between sessions, and the sun's angle became
steeper, most of the flowers had finished blooming, and I never got to
coordinate with Regina again. However, that bright blue bicycle was
there every time I went! |
