BRICK ARCHWAY   8 x 10

 

 

The flowers viewed through the mission archway are a different variety from an earlier painting of this scene; also this painting is larger than the earlier version. The scene is at the peak of summer when the flowers are at their best. I learned a lesson doing this painting, and that is to be very careful not to have a cup of tea too close at hand while painting, otherwise the paintbrush gets dipped into the TEA instead of the rinse water. I drank the tea anyway and hoped not to get much cadmium into my system.
