Today's painting was done en plein air at Denver's Botanic Gardens. What a gorgeous day it was- perfect weather and unending material from which to paint. It was amazing to see so many other artists out there today. Several groups were there including Plein Air Artists Colorado, Golden Triangle Plein air, and a class from the Art Students League. Seemed like about 40-50 painters and lots of curious onlookers!
Botanic Gardens is a 10x10" oil on 1" stretched canvas.
It is sold unframed and is up for bidding on eBay now until 9/15/15.

Below is an edited black and white version. I like to drop my painting into photo editor to check the reading of the values; especially when I use bright colors, which can be deceiving. The values MUST read, and be interesting, or the painting does not work, regardless of how nice the color might be.
50% of proceeds from the 30 in 30 challenge this month, September 2015, got to Extended hands of Hope. Pass the work and please bid!
