Rengstorff House at Noon






This was a plein air painting I did on June 25th. I managed to find a nice shady spot and was really taken with the wonderful shadows on the ground that framed the bright lawn in the middle ground. I liked the idea of making the house just a background element that the gardens were playing off of. It was tricky making all of my greens interesting enough, but I think it worked.

Kaaren,
Your paintings are absolutely beautiful and like how you were able to experiment with different texture in same painting.
You are so magnificent and I am proud of all your artwork!
