This is an oil 8" x 10" on gessoed mdf board with an orange
underpainting. I really have to pay attention to keeping
things "loose" but accurate and I'm afraid it got away
from me in a couple of areas. But when I left the garden,
it was 99.9% done. I did add a few of the roses and highlights
on the water after arriving home.
Nice day today. Wish I could do this every day.

Oh wow! I love this. I love all of your landscapes. I saw this one on WetCanvas and came to your blog from there. I am a painter also and strive to get the looseness of landscapes like this. I used to paint more realistic but am just not interested in all of that detail anymore. Great job and thanks for sharing your work!
Thank you so much Denise. I really appreciate your adding your comment. It's not easy being loose and controlled at the same time but I'm finding out the fewer strokes, the easier. I have a tendency to overwork everything and then it dies. It's so hard to know when to quit. Best to you..
