Roses in the Rain

Last week my friends Michelle and Marianne painted with me in the  Columbus park Garden Of Roses. It was a beautiful day! An accomplished classic guitarist came along to play nearby as we painted. As the afternoon wore on a black cloud blew over us and everyone scattered. But, I was not quite finished. Fortunately I paint in oils, the water runs off of them. I was able to cover my board to finish, and the rain let up a bit.

Fellows Rose Garden

Our painting group returned to Fellows Riverside Garden to paint this week. The roses are blooming, so hard to decide which nook and cranny to paint! This color is Elle. The petals range from yellow to peach to orange, exquisite.

The Rose Garden

Our Monday Plein Air group painted at Fellows Riverside Gardens in Mill Creek Metroparks. The orange roses especially caught my eye and the dark high hedge that set the colors off. It was a hot day, in the sun, but under my umbrella life was pleasant.

Hoyt Roses

Yesterday was the first summer plein air class at the Hoyt Art Center. The new students are so enthusiastic. There was a light rain the whole time we were outside. This is a demo I painted in the rose garden at the Hoyt Center.
