Spring at Descanso


One of the paint-out groups was back at Descanso Gardens in La Canada-Flintridge recently.  We like to meet there often because there are so many great views to paint.  I see this will be my seventh post about the gardens.  My previous visit in March was to paint the tulips, which I posted in The Tulips!  That was a gouache piece and I spent so long walking around on my most recent visit, I decided to do a gouache again since I paint those at a smaller size.  The roses were blooming and I probably should have tried something different, some flowers, instead of a landscape.  Will have to consider that for next time.  As usual there were many school kids on field trips as well as families visiting.  It's always a busy place.

  1. This is great, Sherry - makes me wonder what the parent and child are looking at. Your red "pops" really engage the eye and the foliage is wonderful, too!

  2. Gorgeous, Sherry. This garden really brings out some of your best work. I remember your Tulips very well, and loved that, too.
