Dahlia Garden

On Tuesday my plein air group went to the Bayard Cutting Arboretum to paint at the dahlia garden. It is such a great location to paint. This is 8 x 10. 
Since then I have been very busy getting ready for my upcoming trip. We leave tomorrow so this will be my last post for a while unless I can find somewhere along the way to upload a photo.  I am ready with sketchbooks and sheets of watercolor paper and hope to sketch and paint every step of the way. If I can't post I will see you in a few weeks. Ciao!

  2. Have a fabulous time, Joan!! I'll look forward to all your sketches and travel stories when you return. Maybe you could post to Flickr while you're away...? I had pretty good luck posting sketches from Brazil with hotel WiFi.
