Botanic Garden Statue, Spring
A Group of Plein Air Painters met at the
Fort Worth Botanic Gardens early Wednesday morning to
paint and sketch in the cooler temperature.
I decided to sketch this statue of a child holding a bird's nest
with three baby birds in it.
As I was drawing, one of the gardeners was watching and was
so excited to see painters painting and drawing in the gardens she takes care of.
Gardener Renea told me that she named this statue "Spring". There
are four statues along the path and she calls them the Four Seasons.
It was so peaceful with a little breeze and relatively cool
in the shade of the trees.
Thanks to Doug, a painter and sculptor who contacts the group
about our plein air outings.

Brazos River at Pecan Plantation
PLEIN AIR PAINT OUT,
PECAN PLANTATION
on the shore of the
BRAZOS RIVER
Several Artists got together a couple of
weeks ago to paint outdoors on the
shore of the Brazos River in Pecan Plantation
near Granbury, Texas.
It was a cold and overcast Saturday
morning. We started early about 8 am to
paint the fall foliage of golds and reds.
Even though the weather conditions weren't
perfect we enjoyed God's pretty scenery.
Below is a picture of the painting I did with the photo
of the scene below it.

Here I am bundled up with my new plein air cart that has a
small chair attached to it. I like to sit and paint. Others have their
own set ups and like to stand.
