Beech Spring Farm, Orrtanna



Beech Spring Farm Spring House
Watercolor 9" x12"
Today I painted with the Susquehanna Plein Air Painters at Beech Spring Farm in Orrtanna, PA.  What a beautiful spot! It was difficult to decide what to paint so I took about 100 photographs first and then parked my easel under a tree and painted this spring house with the fountain and garden in front of it.  
I really am enjoying painting outside and meeting some wonderful Art friends.  Thanks to my neighbor, Larry Lerew, for inviting me along, and to Jane who created these beautiful gardens. and to all the exceptional artists who were painting with me for giving me this opportunity.
