Rose Garden

"Pavilion," oil on panel, 9x12

My sketch group meets in the parking lot of the Mills Rose Garden, which occupies a portion of Greenwood Park, where the Art Center is located. Many Saturdays we use the gardens as sketch material because it has color, attractive pavilions, and a great deal of original art. 

This painting shows one of the pavilions of the garden, fronted by a plinth topped by a bronze turtle. The limestone pillars and pavilion make an interesting counterpoint to the trees and foliage of the park, in the distance. Just finished, this one will be listed on my website in the near future.
