Sun on the garden path

Painted in the shade at the Missouri Botanical Gardens  with my Plein air buddies.   This little path winds back to a bench behind the water lily pools.   It was a great location on a sunny summer afternoon.  I love capturing the light on the stone path and various plantings.

     I had just a bit of time the first day to get the shapes in, then came back at the same time of day the following week to finish...

Is summer around the corner?

Boy, this has been quite a winter... Our city and state (Missouri) has not experienced the blizzard conditions of the east coast, or the terrible mudslides of the west coast... I feel for those folks.. I'm sure this winter is getting tiresome for them, and they are hoping for spring....

     I found these cute sandals, with this darling shape (I wish they would actually FIT me, because I could wear these)  Anyhoo, I thought they needed an accompaniment... sunglasses... fun to paint.
