I made arrangements for the Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters to paint out in the well tended gardens of the PA Governor's Residence last week. Even though most of the flowers had gone for the season, there was still a lot of beautiful color to see. I particularly loved this shrub in the foreground with the firey red foliage.
It was a cold day to paint outside, but Tammy and the staff made us feel welcomed, even offering warm beverages and freshly baked cookies to warm us up. I think everyone had a good time.

Julie, This is beautiful! You captured the day.I love how you handled the red foliage and those last leaves hanging on the tree, and the architecture! Wonderful! Thanks for organizing this paint out.
Just commented on this on the SVPAP blog, but I was just as delighted to see this beautiful little painting here as well!
Thank you Julie for organizing the paint out. Your painting came out great and the entire experience was a treat.
Ditto to all the above, especially the way you included the architectural details that help define the Governor's residence.
Thanks everyone! It certainly was a nice time. We will try to do it again soon.
