Sketching in the Park

 

 

A Saturday morning spent sketching in Veteran's Park,

Arlington, Texas.  Several artists met and enjoyed the

cool breeze off the duck pond and sketched ducks,

the walking path, trees and foliage in the park.

Those who came out to sketch were Cindy, Sharon,

Phil and myself. Pictured below are Barbara, Vern, Cliff,

  Nancy and Suzanne.

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.
