The other day I headed over to Fantastic Gardens, a local nursery in Patchogue. They always have a nice collection of plants and flowers. I've sketched there before but I made sure to ask if it was OK. I don't want to be in the way and interfere with the business going on. Of course they didn't mind. This is one of the greenhouses and "check-out" building, so everyone that was there passed by and commented on my sketch. They were amazed that I had so much done in the short time they were shopping.
This was done in my Stillman & Birn Beta Sketchbook. I like that I was able to let it grow a bit across to the other page.

Very colorful Joan! Very well done also, especially considering all the distraction from the shoppers, something I go through when I sketch at car shows.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Joan! I imagine it would be great for their custom having you there sketching.
ReplyDeleteLovely sketch - and I'm very impressed at your show schedule! You have been busy - well done!
ReplyDeleteFantastic, indeed! So colorful!
ReplyDeleteI'd bet businesses would love this because you are an added attraction, so to speak! Where artists go, beauty follows!! Love this page, Joan!
ReplyDeleteYou did an excellent job capturing the essence of this cute nursery and your colors are so brilliant! It can only be good for business having you sketch there!!
ReplyDeleteThanks David, Wendy, Kerry, Tina, Sherry, and Celia. I hope when I paint there I am attracting the customers. lol
ReplyDeleteDear Joan - what a quaint looking garden shop...I am afraid I might have been more interested in shopping for flowers than painting them if I had been there (LOL) - sometimes the gardener in me wins over the artist! Glad it doesn't work that way for you...just lovely friend.
