Arboretum at the Holidays

Today I went to the Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay. They have a wonderful greenhouse where you can paint indoors. The arboretum was still decorated for the holidays so amid all the tropical plants were gorgeous poinsettias and red flowers. In the middle of the greenhouse was a lovely Christmas tree. I painted the view looking up the steps at the main entryway.
