Wrigley Garden

Last Saturday was a very pretty day to paint at the 1906 Wrigley Mansion, officially Tournament House and headquarters for the Tournament of Roses parade on New Years day.  Besides a possible painting of the stately mansion, the surrounding gardens feature over 1000 varieties of roses.  It was a little early for most of the roses to be blooming but there were a few early flowers.  My previous watercolor there was two years ago, Wrigley Roses.  I chose the same spot to paint from this time and did quite a bit of editing out the modern part of the building.  I added more flowers too!
