Cameron Gardens Paint Out

Morning Light


Another satisfying paint out day this past Thursday at Cameron Gardens on Steamboat Island Road. This is such a beautiful rural garden surrounded by beautiful forests. It's truly an escape from the busyness of life. Diane Jacob owner of Cameron Gardens treated us like royalty with herb infused lemonade and fresh sweets baked by her neighbor. The weather was lovely, the turnout of artists was good, and we had a wonderful morning painting to our hearts content!


I painted for the first time with a new easel setup specifically designed for my portable pastel carrying case. It worked beautifully....and I am very happy with the results. Diane's comment, "you really feel like you are in Cameron Gardens" more than thrilled this artist. That's what it's about....trying to convey to the viewer the same sense of calm and retreat you felt as you viewed the garden and it's quiet spirit.


Yes, it was a very good day!
