Green Umbrellas

The Plein Aires paint-out group was back at the Arboretum for our quarterly planning meeting.  It's always fun to discuss future painting locations.  The hour-plus planning leaves limited time to do a watercolor before meeting back at the cafe.  After our previous meeting I painted Watercolor Greenhouse.  This time we only had a little over an hour to walk to find something we would like to paint.  I knew of a patio close by which I had tried painting quite awhile ago which didn't go well.  Maybe I could do a better job now.  There were bright green umbrellas and a few people at the tables, sitting enjoying the nice weather.  This watercolor went more as I had in mind.  Will probably try it again!

    nice Sherry, green umbrellas are not something you see a lot so it adds to the interest

      Thank you Lorraine! I was thinking maybe I should have changed the color...

    I'm keenly attracted to that shade of green you chose

    To me, this would be the ultimate challenge - what a great job you did, Sherry. Love the ironwork on the tables and chairs, and your greenery always wows me.

      Thank you Terry! I'm getting more comfortable with the greenery.
