Another afternoon of painting at a local park.

I was trying to capture the light and shadow pattern...

I was pleased with the way it turned out...here it is with the paletteshot :)

And then I did one more....and painted until the sun went down!

By the time I finished this one, the flower garden was completely in shadow...

I entered the red rose painting into a plein air exhibition and....it was juried in!

I've really enjoyed plein air painting this spring and summer, and I plan do more plein air in the future!
