My Day 8 painting for the challenge is of foxgloves. These were growing in the small garden on the property of the historic Meadow Croft Estate in Sayville. Among the residents of this property was John E. Roosevelt, cousin of Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy was known to ride on horseback out to his cousin's home in Sayville from his "summer White House" in Oyster Bay. The estate is now part of the Suffolk County Historic Trust and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
