I've been able to paint at a few local plant nurseries and it's always a fun experience. I see it's been almost a year since I painted A Nursery! so I was happy to have another nursery paint-out opportunity. This time we were in San Marino at Mission Nursery. Although it's been on its corner for many years, it's still sort of a hidden treasure. A lot of plants and color are packed into the relatively small space. It's a lovely getaway just to browse. Because I didn't want to block any aisles with my painting equipment I chose a view from across the street. I loved the bright green of the building and red of the awning. Since the group enjoyed painting there, it's on our schedule again. Next time I'll probably be squeezed in an aisle.

It's a lovely painting. One garden centre I spoke to said I couldn't paint there because of health and safety! So that put me off
ReplyDeleteThanks Polly. We've run across some odd reasons why we can't paint a few times.
DeleteVery pretty. I love it when the artist takes out the things like lamp posts. It makes the sketch or painting so much more appealing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol. That lamp post just wouldn't have worked.
DeleteStunning in every way. Your confident brush strokes really make this sparkle.
ReplyDeleteThanks Terry!
DeleteGood choice! I never considered a nursery as subject. And you got that Jacaranda tree. Jealous. Always flub those up.
ReplyDeleteThanks Liz. I think Jacarandas are tricky too.
DeleteIdeal with the green and red, your scene sings Sherry
ReplyDeleteThank you Lorraine!
