Working outdoors this week was fun but occasionally frustrating. The first few days were fine and sunny but the last ones cloudy, rainy and a lot less convenient. Monday and Tuesday were good days painting at the Asian Garden near the Botanical Center. The Chinese pavilion is a traditional building with curving rooflines, each successively smaller. It has a set of marble railings and decorations that were damaged some years ago by a deranged man with a hammer, but has been undergoing restoration of the rails and of the gardens. I painted from the southern side of the pagoda, trying to catch the effect of early morning sun on the dark reds.
