I love painting with the color red in the summer. IT reminds me of some of my favorite things, ripe strawberries, cherries, and tomatoes, the US flag, and red geraniums.
I hope to do more red paintings this month!
Do you see the turtles sunning themselves?
Yesterday my friend and I were doing some plain air painting and drawing. I mostly did sketching. It was the perfect day with not a cloud in the sky. Plenty of birds and flowers blooming. The trees finally leafing out. Woodland plants unfurling their petals.
Yesterday after running errands I took a walk in Wilder Park by the Elmhurst Art Museum and Library.
The weather was beautiful. The grass was a little wet. But I tried to stay on the trails.
I stopped in the conservatory, which was full of pink geraniums.
There's the library. And below Wilder Mansion. (I remember when it served as the library.)
