Paint Out at the Corn Loft Studio

A painting colleague let us loose on the grounds of her beautiful home yesterday. A difficult day for plein air painting, with the sun coming and going and then one almighty hail shower int he afternoon. I decided to focus on close-ups, given the conditions.

I was drawn to these magnificent foxglove (digitalis purpurea - just showing off!) for my first one (the yellow is a bit oversaturated in the photo - must get a better camera):-

For my second, I had a bit of a "Monet moment", unable to resist the challenge of these waterlilies, especially as they were in full bloom:-
