I love to visit Toledo Botanical Gardens and paint watercolor sketches of the plants and sculptures on the grounds. This scene had an extra bonus in that my favorite plant, hydrangeas, surrounded an antique sculpture. I usually try to keep these small sketches to 20 minutes or so in hopes of keeping them fresh and vibrant.

John and I traveled to Louisville last summer so that I could make sketches and photographs for a commission I had received from a couple down there. We visited with friends and ate at fantastic restaurants and, while John played golf, I wandered around the city. The historic architecture is fantastic and the downtown area felt very much like an old Southern city in the 1900’s. I especially liked the avenues of opulent Victorian homes. This fountain bubbled happily in the middle of a picturesque boulevard. It was 100 degrees in the shade where i sat to paint this watercolor painting.

Another watercolor painting I did at the Toledo Botanical Gardens. This little cherub bravely guarded his little garden room. He was so sassy looking, I couldn’t help but stop and paint him!
