Rod Caravella and Gretchen Fenston posed for me in Edwardian attire at the New York Botanical Garden, as part of the fun surrounding their summer exhibition "Impressionism: American Gardens on Canvas."

Thanks to all who attended and the staff and volunteers at NYBG who engineered the magic.

Very nice painting. The first thing that popped into my mind was "Carnation Lily Lily Rose". The flash of light on top of the boater really helps to nail down the spotty lighting.
Do you often paint on facing pages in your sketchbook? If so, have you had many issues with one surface damaging the other?
Thanks, Tom. I usually don't paint on facing pages, because there is often a transfer. Glad you reminded me of that, because maybe I'll tack in a little piece of tissue paper to separate the two.
Wonderful! These outfits are so fun, and I love the warms/cools in the clothing.
