Yesterday I went back to the Botanical Gardens. It was very breezy so I looked for a spot in the trees. After walking around for about an hour, I settled on this scene in the Fern Glade. While painting, my easel almost collapsed twice. I was able to catch everything without too much mess. (I caught the palette in my hands. The mess was on me! The paint under my fingernails was difficult to remove!) Well, the painting turned out about as good as my hands did. It looks a little better in person, but not much! I was not happy with this one. Painted on an 8x10 canvas sheet.
