Rhodies

Last weekend I was at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum in Oakdale for the Wet Paints Member's Show which I was participating in. When the show was over I grabbed my paints and headed to paint something in bloom while I was there. Some of the rhododendrons were in bloom so I did them in watercolors and ink.
