Day three plein air painting at Beech Spring Farms by Linda Young

This is the painting from the Beech Spring Farms.  There were so many flowers in the potting shed garden, I was overwhelmed by them all being the "newkid on the block" plein air artist as I am.   Looking back at this one, less would have been better in the foreground, I think.  I will probably do this one again only on a larger, looser scale in the future.  But, I could crop it....(see below)

What do you think?  The one above, or this cropped one?

Amy Lindenberger, Linda Young and Claire Beadon Carnell at Beech Springs Farm

Here we are waiting out the rain, smelling the aroma of the food that was being served in the loft of the barn and filling our senses with the deepening colors of the garden.  It wasn't long after this picture was taken the sun came out and we were painting again.  Beech Springs Farm is an unforgetable place.
